Of Faith and Fang

Blood Church, Book 1

By: Raven Usher

Narrated by: Jamal West

Vampire: noun
1) a preternatural being, commonly believed to be a reanimated corpse, that is said to suck the blood of sleeping persons at night.
2) (in Eastern European folklore) a corpse, animated by an undeparted soul or demon, that periodically leaves the grave and disturbs the living, until it is exhumed and impaled or burned

Religion: noun
1) a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of affairs.

When vampires find religion and form their own church, the old masters are put in a tenuous position. Do they let their people leave them and join the church or do they fight back against new regime?

Some fight for faith. Some fight for power. Some seek a new wold while others seek to uphold the old traditions. Can vampires find the grace of God or are they truly damned souls? It comes down to new beliefs verses old authority. But does one side really have God on their side?
