title: Thrall
author: Silvius, Ravon
description: Legend of the Fallen Empire
  The old Empire has fallen, and humanity is losing the war against powerful vampires. Kaiden, once the pathetic town drunk, is now a thrall, a mindless servant driven only by bloodlust and his master's orders.
  But when his master orders Kaiden to kill a vampire hunter, Kaiden disobeys.
  Hunter Johann has spent years studying old lore and killing thralls, but he's never seen one like Kaiden, intelligent and capable of free will. If he can convince Kaiden to help him, he might reclaim something thought lost forever: a chance for humankind. But he isn't sure if Kaiden can be trusted, much less become a tool to kill the vampire who created him.
  Kaiden doesn't know who he is or what he truly wants beyond blood. Most of his memories are shadows, and nothing will bring back the life he lost.
  Not a vampire, not a mindless thrall, capable of using the old magics, Kaiden is something completely different.
  And being different means being alone.
