David Herder

Prince Pope Vampire David Herder

Thrown out of both Heaven and Hell, what do you do? There are no schools for vampires, you are on your own. Octavian, Prince of Rome at 17 and Pope John XII at 18, a priest and Pope only because his father wanted to consolidate the family's hold on Rome and the Papal State. Young and libidinous, he uses his position for personal pleasures not at all befitting his office while struggling to keep those lands independent from powerful enemies. Murdered in his mistress's bed, his adventures and trials were just beginning as he wandered blindly while learning to cope with the advantages, peculiarities, and costs of his "afterlife." Witness to wars and revolutions, great social changes and the small events that make up day-to-day lives; this is his story, as remembered and told by him.
