Formosan Vampire: Don’t Be Afraid. Be Terrified. (From the chronicles of Seth Ardelean the Cro-Magnon Vampire)

The Award Winning epic novel about the life of a 42,000 year old Cro-Magnon man who became a vampire king and ruled the most fearsome empire in history.

In the shadowy depths of Taiwan's infamous Lyudao Island Prison, a figure shrouded in enigma and terror awaits his fate on death row. Known to a few as Seth, the formidable leader of the Dark Order, a clandestine legion of vampires, this entity's true identity remains a mystery.

Why would a being of such power and darkness willingly surrender to mortal chains?

It isn't until Eunice Wang, a tenacious young paralegal, steps into the cell of this condemned soul during his last hours that Seth weaves an astonishing narrative, revealing his past as the ancient Formosan vampire king. His tale spans millennia, chronicling a reign steeped in blood and shadow over an island kingdom, a realm of awe and dread that eclipsed the horrors of history.

As the prisoner's story unfolds, Eunice discovers a lost civilization that had flourished, only to vanish mysteriously at the dawn of the 20th century. A civilization established 6000 years ago, ruled by Seth, that waged historical wars from ancient times through to World War II with a ferocious and powerful, indigenous samurai-like vampire army, against the Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and others who dared to invade or occupy Formosa.

The civilization Seth reveals, marked by unfathomable terrors and bloodshed, holds secrets which could unravel the fabric of history and challenge the future of mankind and the nature of humanity's understanding of both power and darkness.
