Cain Slays Abel!
In this day and age, that’s not an earth-shattering headline. We want headlines that scream of life-altering events.
Terrorists Nuke Peace Conference!
Wow! What a gripping headline. This is something to change the world. Oh, wait! The world did transform. This ran as the lead story a few hours before the beginning of The Upheaval. The current world birthed in nuclear fire and electromagnetic disruption. Gone are the nations I grew up with. My life altered again.
Cain Slays Abel!
The truth behind such a classic story is far more complicated than anyone could imagine.
The brothers’ tale is a life-altering event, at least for me. Twice a report of murder transformed my life in an unpredictable way. I am Richard St. Martin, Master of Darkness. Before my story can be told, you need to learn the story of the first dark monster, Cain. My stepchildren call him Father Cain because he was the first. To find the actuality behind the myth, I recruited two talented mortals – Dr. Jeremiah Banks, Archaeologist, and Professor Juan Di Vargas, Theologian and Religious Scholar. Together they found the secret origin of the vampires:
The Curse!

Every trail I try following regarding the origins of the curse laid on me with the destruction of the most recent target leads back to this account in the Bible. The vampire who called himself Cain left journals and religious passages from books long hidden from religious scholars, with mysterious clues to an ancient city and hidden meanings behind the stories contained in the Book of Genesis. After gathering what I believe are the passages holding vital clues into one journal, let word spread of the existence of the book, and waited for the text to land in the hands of an expert scholar.

The Russians announced my death a hundred and thirty years ago, but I think the report got lost in the mess of the Upheaval. Somewhere an archivist for the Order of St. Hubert discovered a clipping or a printout of my obituary. They sent a team to my old antique shop and home five nights ago to secure artifacts from my hunting days. In his report last night, Database mentioned the destruction of the majority of the team during the raid by the small vampire court I placed several years ago. They let a couple of the team escape to follow back to their safe house. My agents waited until after the group’s scribe finished writing his letter to the motherhouse of the Order before moving in and finishing off the team. Those agents sent out copies of the letter, the complete original, and dozens of incomplete copies of the journal. Now, I wait to discover where the complete journal ends up.
Wilcox currently has two new trilogies in progress: Origin of the Vampires (The Curse, Lord Hunter, and Lord Slayer) set in a dystopian future of the Silver Hunter world; and Legacy of the Silver Hunter (The Goldilocks Pledge, Ruby Wine, and Black Snow) which continues the story told in the Legend trilogy from the view points of other couples in Kieran and Cory’s lives.
