Venatores: Volume1: Marcus
Nancy, France. January 2005. A city asleep under the snow. Mutilated bodies the police cannot explain.
Calypso should never have met his gaze. Cold. Ancient. Lethal.
Marcus wears thirty years on a face that has seen twenty-five centuries of war. A Roman legionary turned hunter of the impossible, he tracks what humanity chose to forget because the creatures of legend never disappeared. They wait. They hunt. And they remember.
They've found Calypso.
Forget vampires. Forget werewolves. The darkness stalking the streets of Nancy answers to older names - ganipotes that tear through the night in animal form, stryges that drain the living from the inside, creatures born from the deepest veins of French folklore, long buried, never gone. Monsters that American horror never thought to imagine.
Because she carries something they want. A bloodline legacy forged in darkness before she was born, one she knows nothing about and one that could ignite a war even the Venatores cannot stop.
From the snow-covered streets of Nancy to the ancient ruins of Uruk, secrets buried for millennia are clawing their way back to the surface. In a world where myths are real, immortals walk among us, and every shadow hides a predator, Calypso faces an impossible choice: trust the hunter who sees her as prey, or face alone the darkness that has hunted her kind since the beginning of time.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.
VENATORES - Volume 1: Marcus is the first chapter of an epic dark urban fantasy saga weaving ancient mythology, forgotten French folklore, and brutal action across thousands of years of hidden history. Perfect for fans of American Gods, The Dresden Files, and Highlander but darker, older, and hungrier.
