Veinborne Protocol

Veinborn Protocol



Book One of the Glyphbound War



In a city ruled by blood and illusion, one forbidden bond could unravel the last law holding the shadows at bay.



Kael Drayce is a smuggler, a runner of illegal tech, and an expert at not asking questions. But when he accepts a job cracking a sealed vault beneath the vampire Citadel, he unleashes something he was never meant to see—**Vireya Nocturne**, an exiled vampire queen of the extinct Primeclade.



Sealed for over a century beneath glyph-coded stone, Vireya awakens into a future she doesn’t recognize and a city that wants her erased. Her resurrection triggers an ancient bond between her and Kael—one written in blood, older than any Protocol, and powerful enough to rewrite the Masquerade.



Now Kael is mutating, hunted, and haunted by visions of a past not his own. Vireya, still bound by secrets and betrayals, must navigate a world that turned her into a myth—and decide whether Kael is her jailer, her savior… or her weapon.



Together, they must outrun Protocol enforcers, decode blood-marked ruins, and survive a bounty placed on them by Clades who fear what they could become. Because the bond between them is not just illegal.



It’s alive.



And it’s waking up.
