One village’s fall. One monster’s rise. Sabef is a devoted father and respected leader in a thriving Nile-side village. His people owe their success to the Vampyre—an advanced, peaceful race who share their knowledge and technology to improve village life. When whispers of war rise from neighboring tribes, Sabef takes up arms to defend the Vampyre from attack, forging a bond of trust and loyalty. In return, the Vampyre offer Sabef and his warriors a powerful gift: strength, speed, healing—the very traits that make the Vampyre so formidable. But the transformation brings more than promised. Food becomes poison. The sun becomes fire. Hunger turns to torment. And only blood can quench it. As Sabef and his men descend into bloodlust, their bond to the Vampyre shatters. Tragedy strikes, and the people he fought to protect fall at the hands of the monsters he helped create. Consumed by grief and fury, Sabef unleashes a vengeance no one can escape. Now, Sabef is no longer a man. He is the first of a new breed. He is the Master. And his legend will drown the world in fear. Perfect for fans of dark origin stories, ancient legends, and vampire lore with a brutal twist, The Village is a haunting tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the high cost of power.
