A City Built on Ambition.
A World Built on Blood.

The Newport Maeve Chronicles is a gothic noir fantasy series set in Elyssar, a world where vampires, angels, and demonic forces exist alongside a society of steam and ruthless progress.

Now old, dark forces are seeking vengeance and a thin crack to crawl through. They have adapted to the modern world and its refining, and, no longer content with flesh alone, they thrive on the extended boundaries of sin and grief.

The more a society perfects itself, the more elaborate its sins and sorrows grow — and on that very refinement, they feed. The demonic, unseen, slowly consumes the city, threatening to break the Confederacy itself.

Unless someone does something… unless someone acts as a last-line contingency.

Words from the Dark

“You presume the One True is asking.”

— The Entity, to Dion

“Because it is the pinnacle, your crowning monument to progress. The most technologically advanced city of your age. Where ambition walks hand in hand with hubris. And progress breeds corruption. Corruption blossoms into indulgence. And indulgence sharpens hunger into obsession, polishes desire until it gleams. The hellspawn, Dion… they do not feed on blood or flesh. They feed on that refinement, on cravings shaped by civilization itself.”

— The Entity, on Newport Maeve

“Listen, Protector. It will not happen. I have a strict protocol for who can be what in my society. If you find otherwise, you can seek me out again—and then we can have any kind of conversation you wish.”

— Dion, to the Protector
