Legacy of the Dark Kind

So, who are these Dark Kind? In a term their nobles would find deeply insulting, they are blood drinkers, vampires. But they are not the Undead, not fanged human ghouls. In fact they are not supernatural, but a different species to man, one higher up the food chain! Eternally youthful, beautiful but deadly predators, they are creatures of flesh and blood. Beings with a great passion for love, for life and survival in their now hostile world overrun by humans. Most have lost their lives to the advance of Humanity, but a few scattered survivors remain, hunting in shadows of night, Legacy of the Dark Kind relates their story.

Among the Dark Kind characters in the series, the foremost is Jendar Azrar, Prince of Isolann, a ferocious warlord who lives by a strict code of honour and duty, no matter what the cost to his own life. He is bound to his remote, mountain-girdled Principality, created to protect its human inhabitants and prepared to die to defend them. As the modern world encroaches this forgotten realm, this fate draws ever nearer.
On the opposite side of the scale there is Jazriel, the lowliest caste of commoner, a sha'ref. Created to be a thing of desire and pleasure, he survives on his charm and great beauty. Courageous, vain, hedonistic but not too bright, Jaz turns his back on his created role to find a new destiny in the world of humans.
