The First Blood
A Dark Fantasy of the First Vampire
EVERY CURSE HAS A FIRST NIGHT.
The world's first murder did not end in a grave. It began a bloodline. Marked by heaven and refused by death, Cain has walked the wastes for centuries, waiting for a punishment that never finishes. Then, at the edge of a dying fire, he meets Eliora, the first soul in an age who looks at the marked man and does not run. But something older than either of them is watching from the dark. A thirst is waking beneath Cain's ribs, a hunger no bread, no water, no prayer can quiet. And as it sharpens, he begins to understand the truth: his curse was never an ending. It was an experiment. And it is still unfolding.

M. A. Khan writes at the meeting point of ancient warning and modern consequence. A British author with a previous career at the sharp end of military and trauma medicine, he brings a surgeon's economy and a soldier's eye to stories that range from apocalyptic geopolitical thrillers to mythic dark fantasy. His books ask one recurring question: when the old stories said we were warned, what exactly were we supposed to do about it? He writes as M. A. Khan; his nonfiction appears under Mansoor Ali Khan.
