In the realm of V The First, the boundaries between history and myth dissolve into one living chronicle. From the annals of Europe rise figures of flesh and crown—Basarab, the indomitable founder of his house; Prince Mircea, heir of Wallachia; the proud Princess Mara; and the line of Vlad II Dracul, whose blood would one day give the world Vlad III, called Dracula. Yet these lords and princes share their stage with beings older than thrones, drawn from the marrow of ancient lore: Witches who whisper to the elements, warlocks who bargain with shadows, Revenants cursed with immortal hunger, Lycans who prowl beneath the moon, Mages wielding forbidden arts, and Saints whose martyrdom burns brighter than steel. Together they weave a world where the march of history beats in step with the pulse of legend.
