Namtar - The Night Plague

What if everything you knew about vampires was wrong?

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson and The Mortal Instruments, this supernatural thriller launches an epic saga where family legacy meets cosmic horror.

Seventeen-year-old Alex Weston's normal life shatters when golden light erupts from his hands during a terrifying encounter with a creature that shouldn't exist. Recruited by the secretive Arete Foundation, Alex discovers he's inherited the bloodline of an ancient guardian—and the world needs him more than he ever imagined.

The Vampire Lie: The Namtar are not the seductive vampires of popular fiction. They are monstrous beings—an evolution weaponized, a Night Plague that transforms humans into shadow-dwelling predators with crystalline fangs. The Arete Foundation has protected humanity against these creatures, born from the corruption of Atlantis itself, for millennia.

A Destiny Spawned by Betrayal: Alex carries the blood of Alyosha, one of Atlantis's legendary twin guardians. But his power comes with a devastating secret: the Namtar were created by Alyosha's own brother, Marek, in a twisted experiment.

As Namtar forces emerge from Antarctic hibernation to establish corruption nodes across major cities, Alex must master powers he barely understands while uncovering the shocking family secrets that connect him to both humanity's greatest protector and its most dangerous enemy.

With ancient enemies closing in, Alex faces an impossible choice: embrace his destiny as a guardian warrior, or watch humanity fall to the plague his ancestor couldn't stop.

The war between light and shadow is awakening. This time, Marek won't be content to sleep.

Inside the 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.
