Sheesh... Vampires can be like children sometimes. In our quest to unite the underworld against the coming flood of darkness, a visit to Darkeum Cove was first on the list. Although I would hardly call the Noctem island a popular vacation spot, it had to be done. Uniting the underworld meant uniting everyone, and that included the same vampires who would just assume I disappeared forever. It shouldn’t have mattered one way or the other, seeing as how full authority over the underground clan was Marco’s by right. At least, that was we assumed before an official challenge to his authority...

To the Sunday School, he was a Shepherd. To history, he was a Warlord. We were taught a version of the Bible that feels like a stained-glass window: beautiful, glowing, and completely flat. In that version, the heroes are statues. They don't sweat. They don't scheme. They move silently from one miracle to the next, stripped of their humanity so they can serve as safe examples for children. But the Bible isn't safe. And it was never meant for children. KING DAVID: THE GANGSTER TRAGEDY is an investigation. It is an attempt to chip away the plaster and find the pulse underneath. We treat these...
