Midnight: The Chronicles of Malikperse (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184569406)

To the mortal world, they are myths. To the Church, they are heretics. To Queen Midnight, they are family.

For thousands of years, Midnight has walked the earth in secret. She has watched Rome fall, empires crumble, and humanity hunt her supernatural kin into near-extinction. Fed up with the hiding, the ancient African Queen uses her dark power to forge a sanctuary: Malikperse, an invisible island realm severed from the mortal plane.

To sustain it, she must navigate a dangerous global chess match. She fights alongside William the Conqueror, trades in secret gold with British monarchs, and turns a cloaked pirate ship into an abolitionist nightmare for Atlantic slave traders. All to gather the refugees of the world-and the human prisoners needed to feed them.

But as empires fade and centuries pass, a single obsession drives her: decoding the ancient scriptures that can bring back Malik, the first of their kind.

Step across the veil into a world of ancient gods, historical wars, and forbidden magic. The saga of Vampire Island begins here.
