Blood Tribe: Book #1 of the Blood Tribe Series
A vampire wakes in a coffin hunted by an ancient cult led by history's first doorkeeper.
The plot follows Vivian Black as she navigates a world where she is the target of a deadly undead organization. Her pursuer, Joseph Cartaphilus, connects the horror to biblical times through his role with Pontius Pilate. Michael provides temporary sanctuary, but the Shevet ha Dam ensures no location offers safety. The story emphasizes inescapable fate over physical distance. Kain uses these characters to explore themes of memory loss and predatory lineage. The narrative structure moves from confusion to active flight, highlighting the futility of running from one’s origins.
The text references Pontius Pilate and Joseph Cartaphilus, linking the supernatural elements to early Christian history. It draws on the concept of the Shevet ha Dam as an ancient lineage. This grounds the horror in a specific religious and historical tradition rather than modern folklore.
