Sinossi

What if the myths about vampires had a real origin?
Legacy (blood Bond, #1)
Ivan could not have known that one day the strange family inheritance would knock at his door and that, what he believed to be his grandfather's ravings, contained a bond beyond blood, beyond family, beyond time. What to do with a legacy in the form of an ancestor more than 3,000 years old?
Velkan woke up in a new century, in a new society, with a new family, but with the same bloodlust, an instinct that kept him alive since he was born and that even Van Helsing could not defeat. Tired of seeing how all his life they had killed and desecrated the bodies of his family because of his nature, tired of the struggles for his protection, unable to see himself loved and fed up of being called a monster, strigoi, vampire or dracul, he decided to put an end to his existence, without getting it.
When Velkan and Ivan meet, something more than the inherited family bond is created between them and they begin to trust each other. Velkan will tell you about his time in history by telling you about the age of metals in which he was born, about Vlad III, the Impaler, and will show you what really happened in London in the years of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Will Velkan finally be able to find his place? Can he stop them from thinking he's a vampire?
An original and different revision of the legends of vampires, the folklore that exists about them and archaeology, a twist on the myth that will surprise you.
