Namtar - The Night Plague
A Gritty Urban Fantasy & Biological Thriller by C.D. Jones
What if the vampire myth was a global cover-up?
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, The Mortal Instruments, and the high-stakes cosmic horror of The 13th Warrior.
In Namtar: The Night Plague, the first installment of The Atlantean Legacy, seventeen-year-old Alex Weston discovers that "monsters" aren't just myths—they are a weaponized evolutionary mutation. When a terrifying encounter awakens a dormant power in his blood, Alex is thrust into a hidden war between the secretive Arete Foundation and an ancient viral threat known as the Namtar.
The Vampire Lie: A New Evolution of Horror
Forget the seductive vampires of modern fiction. The Namtar are a predatory evolution—a "Night Plague" that converts human biology into shadow-dwelling hunters with crystalline fangs. Born from the fall of Atlantis, these creatures have been hunted for millennia by the guardians of the Arete Foundation.
A Destiny Forged in Atlantis
Alex is more than a recruit; he is the descendant of Alyosha, a legendary guardian of the lost continent. But his inheritance is stained by a dark origin: the Namtar were created by Alyosha’s own brother, Marek, through a twisted experiment in genetic corruption.
The Awakening War
As the Namtar emerge from Antarctic hibernation to establish corruption nodes in the world’s greatest cities, Alex must master his burgeoning light-based powers. To save humanity, he must confront a shocking family secret: he is genetically linked to both the world’s greatest protector and its most dangerous enemy.
The war between light and shadow is awakening. This time, the plague will not be stopped.

Inside the Namtar World
THE ATLANTEAN LEGACY NO ONE WANTED
The Arete Foundation has operated in secret for millennia, protecting humanity from a threat most people don't know exists. Their underground facility beneath Paris's Montparnasse Tower houses warriors, scientists, and the last descendants of Atlantis—all united against the Namtar plague.
But when corruption spreads faster than containment, when your training instructor becomes the monster hunting your team, when the cure might cost more than you can survive losing—that's when being a guardian becomes something far more dangerous than destiny.
The mythology is deep. The action is brutal. The emotional cost is devastating.
And Alex Weston is running out of time to save the people who matter most.

The Archive Status
[INTERNAL MEMO: ARETE ORGANIZATION] Subject: Update on the Stoker Files (Bram Stoker Journals)
"The truth requires patience; deception requires only a moment."
To our dedicated Archivists and Guardians:
We have made the executive decision to move the official release of Namtar: The Bram Stoker Journals from January 2026 to spring/summer.
While the core narrative of Stoker’s hidden history is complete, new "artifacts" and encrypted documents have recently surfaced within the Arete Organization’s vault. To ensure the 12,000-year legacy is documented with absolute precision—and to "tidy up" the deep lore additions that connect the Night Plague to the Victorian era—we are extending the archival process.
This is not merely a delay; it is a containment of the full truth. We appreciate your vigilance as we prepare this essential companion to The Night Plague.
Status: In Editing / Deep Archive Verification
New Targeted Release: Mid 2026
