In a world where vampires reign in shadow, one man discovered the forbidden path to godhood: the Hercules Method, a discipline of flesh and will that bends the human body into a weapon beyond monsters. 
 Driven by vengeance after a vampire slaughtered his family, he hunted their kind across centuries, learning the ancient secret that the Originals themselves feared—that killing a sire could unravel entire bloodlines. 
 His crusade became legend, his power unmatched, his name whispered like a curse. But when thousands of witches sealed him away, the world forgot his terror.
 Now, freed by disciples who have mastered fragments of his Method, he returns to a world changed—an apocalypse ruled by night. He is neither savior nor messiah, but butcher and hunter, carrying the knowledge and rage of centuries. The Originals once feared him. The world will remember why."
