Genesis of a Vampire: One Lost Soul Will Shape Human Destiny

By Jon Finn

A Dark Vampire Origin Story Set in Ancient Nazareth

Abandoned as an infant on the steps of a Nazareth orphanage, young Jacob grows up frail, bullied, and painfully alone. But beneath his sickly exterior lies a secret no child should possess, a dark, ancient hunger that grants him strength whenever blood touches his lips.

As Jacob struggles to understand the monstrous power awakening inside him, he forms an unlikely bond with a teenage Jesus of Nazareth, whose quiet wisdom forces Jacob to confront the morality of his growing thirst. Is he cursed? Chosen? Damned? Or something far more complicated?

When violence erupts within the orphanage walls, Jacob is pushed to the edge of survival. Each choice he makes pulls him deeper into the shadows, blurring the line between innocence and instinct, mercy and hunger, boy and monster.

In this gripping vampire origin story set against the raw, dust-choked world of 1st-century Judea, Jacob must decide whether he can control the darkness within him - or whether it will claim him entirely.

Genesis of a Vampire is a haunting blend of dark fantasy, biblical historical fiction, and supernatural coming-of-age, perfect for readers who love:

atmospheric vampire lore

morally complex antiheroes

ancient world settings

character-driven supernatural drama

This is where the legend begins. This is where the hunger is born.

The Immortal Conquest Series

Across two thousand years of bloodshed and empire, one immortal soul walks the fault lines of history.

Born in the shadows of ancient Nazareth, Jacob carries a curse that grants him strength, longevity, and a hunger he can never fully escape. From the legions of Rome to the courts of kings, from forgotten battlefields to revolutions that reshape the world, he moves unseen, sometimes a witness, sometimes a weapon, always at war with the darkness inside him.

As centuries turn and humanity rises and falls, Jacob must confront the truth of what he is becoming. Is he a monster shaped by violence, or a reluctant guardian forged by suffering? And in a world where power corrupts and blood is currency, can an immortal ever find redemption?

The Jacob Chronicles is a sweeping saga of history, horror, and the human soul, following one vampire's journey through the ages as he struggles to understand his purpose and the destiny he can no longer outrun.
