The Dark Trinity Chronicles

ACT I: THE WEIGHT OF THE CROWN Camelot has stood for generations as humanity's last great stronghold against the darkness. But even kingdoms built on legends can bleed. King Arthur carries the burden of a realm beset on all sides. Along the borders, villages vanish without warning. Ancient enemies stir in forgotten places. And the rumors that reach his court travel faster than his messengers - and are far darker than anything they can answer. When Merlin arrives with word that old prophecies are awakening and forces long believed dormant have finally begun to move, Arthur faces a harder truth: the walls he has spent a lifetime building may not be enough. A brutal massacre on the frontier leaves behind only blood, ashes, and silence. The survivors speak of creatures that should exist only in nightmare - beings of fang, claw, and terrible purpose. Not chaos. Coordination. Two enemies that were never meant to share a hunting ground. Meanwhile, Queen Guinevere is haunted by dreams that refuse to fade with the dawn. Shadows linger where they should not. Voices whisper from places no voice should reach. And with each passing night, an unseen presence draws closer. Behind the court's careful smiles, ambition stirs. Not every threat wears the face of a monster. Some wear the face of a knight - and some carry a blade that whispers. As fear spreads through the realm and loyalties fracture under its weight, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: The darkness was never just beyond the walls. The Dark Trinity Chronicles - Book One begins. An Arthurian dark fantasy of vampires, shapechangers, and the oldest war of all.
