A Novel by William Lockett
ONYX THE PLANET OF VAMPIRES
3,000 years after being cast out of paradise, the vampire elite The Fātus Nĕcrŏvīvus Caucus rule a cold, obsidian world known as Onyx. This is not a story of romance; it is a visceral saga of blood shortages, ancient political betrayals among the Great Houses, and the rise of a new power. From the shadows of House Lestat to the awakening of the Queen of the Dead, follow the journey of those who claimed victory, only to find themselves in a brutal struggle for survival. The destiny of the Living Dead has never been more uncertain

I Vampire is a masterclass in world-building. Sasha Alucard is such a complex character. I couldn't put it down until the last page

War of the Crown is brutal, epic, and unapologetic. The Demon King is a villain you love to hate. William's 14-year hiatus was worth the wait!

Finally, a vampire story that isn't sparkly! This is gritty, visceral, and exactly what the genre needed. A must-read for any horror fan

The combat scenes in War of the Crown feel like they're jumping off the page. The pacing is relentless. Waiting for Book 3 impatiently!
