The Story...
The Revenant was created to destroy Lilith's enemies and lead her vanguard at the battle of Armagedon. Unfortunately, there was one very serious flaw in his unholy perfection: a much higher power gave him a conscience.
Not only must he battle against the terrifying creatures of the night, he must also fight to retain the last vestiges of his humanity and honour; otherwise, the beast inside him will take over completely.
The Past
He is a courageous and honourable Roman centurion, but one day he is given the ignominious task of crucifying some Jews. He feels pity for one prisoner and ends his suffering with his spear. But that man is the Messiah. Longinus is damned for eternity and carries the powerful Spear of Destiny. As a "reward" for his unholy action, he is turned by Lilith, the Queen of the Night. She makes him her Revenant and forces him to destroy her enemies and innocent humans. But he rebels against her and escapes her power. He wanders the earth for centuries and fights in the wars of men. Then he meets a mysterious female vampire, and they live together in contentment and solitude.
The Present
Now the vampire lord of New York has tortured and killed his soul mate.
Now he shall unleash the power of the spear and the beast inside him again.
Now he will bring down Cervenka's vampire kingdom in an sea of blood and fire.
But Lilith is watching and waiting to reclaim what is rightfully hers...
There is no redemption for the damned.
A Story Thousands of Years In The Making
The story is told through through two timelines.
The past recounts his creation in Judea and follows his trials and adventures in ancient Alexandria, the Fortress of Masada, Constantinople, Africa, and the Great Siege of Malta.
The present describes his bloody quest for revenge as he travels from Scotland to Romania, and then on to New York. As Longinus probes deeper into the coven's activities, he begins to realise the full horror, cruelty, and depravity of Cervenka's clandestine empire.
Finally, both stories converge in a thrilling finale as Longinus attempts to destroy the powerful Lord Cervenka and his vast coven.

"Finally found this epic story of vampires. Love the writing, the characters, well I'm hooked. Getting the 2nd right away !! Thanks "
5 Stars: "A New Twist"
"A old story well told with quite a twist. Characters as old as the Bible with a up to date story with bad guys in the dark wanting your blood, yet a positively worse guy - maybe not. Saves the day. I want to read the next book. For more could happen.
"
5 Stars: "Different but exciting!"
"You will make Longinus a hero & pray God forgives him one day. Go back to the crucifixion and then to modern day. Cleverly done!
"
4 Stars: "An enjoyable new spin on a Vampire origin tale"
"I am a fan of vampire stories And this was a good one!
A great new twist on the genre. I Am getting the next 2 ASAP.
A Vampire with some morality, created by and controlled by a higher and more evil entity.
Like others have said it is on the violent graphic side but for the most part it is to the bad guys. What do you expect from Vampires? Not a soap opera romance here.
Thank you Alan !"

"I liked and enjoyed reading Longinus the Vampire. I believe it a worthy book, very visceral and gory and quite delicious. Wicked fight and torture scenes and no holds barred.

the plot. Loved it!"

"I just finished book 3. All three were excellent, Vampires, gods, demons. What's not to like?"
5 Stars: "What a ride!"
"A tale as captivating as Ann Rice's "Interview With a Vampire" or as visceral as

both the horror and joy of a truallly tragic figure thrust into a un-life of
damnation who seeks redemption."

5 Stars: "Real Raw Masculine Vampires"
"These isn't Interview with the Vampire or the Twilight series, but real badass
vampires that kill, rape, plunder, and ravage. There's a vampire mob boss that
makes Don Corleone seem like a pussycat, there's a killer of vampires who
happens to be a vampire himself, and only feeds from vampire blood, there's
discussion of ancient Rome, Judea, Egypt, and even the demon Lilith. If you're
easily offended, don't read this book, but if you like splatterpunk and real
raw horror, then you will enjoy it. It's a real page turner,
I finished it in days."

"Vampires are back and deadly as ever! Horrifying and bloodthirsty, the author takes us into a world of the night walkers. A far cry from young adult sparkly vampires, here they're back to their original wicked selves. Having grown up reading the classics I appreciated this.

Looking forward to reading more from."

"Love and Revenge never die.
Truly dark - violence, action, intrigue, and lots of blood. Longinus is the dark hero, a real badass vampire out for revenge. I found this story captivating, exciting, raw, and impossible to put down.
The adventure is not over and I am on to book two in the series - Longinus The Vampire: Redemption."

"Hello, this was a heck of a story. Real VAMPIRES! Also, a great story about not getting too big for your britches.
Thanks."
"From start to finish this book was a winner. Kinross throws out the stereotypical vampire image that plagues our society and inserted a darker, lustier image."
"Alan Kinross has brought vampires back to the dark side in Longinus The Vampire. It is dark, suspenseful, and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end."
"At long last a vampire book with a bit of a bite! No sparkles but blood, lust and gore. Not for the faint hearted."
"Vampire story for adult audience. So don't expect vanilla...ice-cream. I looking forward to the film version."
