The Dark Ages Clan Novel Saga is a 13-volume series of novels set in the world of Dark Ages: Vampire, released by White Wolf from 2002 to the end of 2004. The series begins with Dark Ages Clan Novel 1: Nosferatu and ends with Dark Ages Clan Novel 13: Tzimisce. Inspired by the original modern-day Clan Novel Saga for Vampire: The Masquerade, this series begins with the end of the original Vampire: The Dark Ages era and continued into the timeframe of Dark Ages: Vampire. The 13 novels are written from the POV of one clan each during the turbulence that swept through the mortal and Cainite societies of Europe following the fall of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade. These novels, unlike the original Clan Novel Series, are chronological, happening one after the other rather than interlapping. Dark Ages Clan Novel #12 Ventrue: The Tides of War Jürgen the Swordbearer, vampiric Warlord of Germany, has his future riding on a push into the pagan lands of Livonia. There he faces the Gangrel warlord who has already brought an ancient low and the secret machinations of the dread Cainite Heresy. But his greatest enemy may be his own passions—his lust for power, his need for recognition, and his longing for the Toreador beauty Rosamund.
The Vampire the Masquerade Clan Novel Saga is a thirteen-volume masterpiece, presenting the war between the established Camarilla leadership and the growing power of the brutal Sabbat on the East Coast of the United States. Each novel is told from the perspective of one of the thirteen clans, intertwining with the others, and filling in missing pieces artfully as we follow battle after battle, intrigue after intrigue—and the appearance of a strange artifact that falls into the hands of a solitary Toreador sculptor. Clan Novel Ventrue is the fifth in the series. War rages among the children of the night. The monstrous vampires of the Sabbat ravage the East Coast from Savannah to Washington, D.C. Camarilla princes who ruled for centuries are ashes on the wind, burning cities the only witnesses to their passing. Elders of the Camarilla call on Jan Pieterzoon, Ventrue childe of privilege, to turn the tide of battle. To succeed in his task, he must navigate a minefield of shifting alliances, where tonight's co-conspirator is tomorrow's enemy. If Jan can survive his friends, he might just have a chance against the Sabbat. This series is a monumental, 13-novel exploration of the forbidden world of the Kindred. What began in Clan Novel: Toreador continues here, and its ending will determine the fate of every human—and inhuman—being in the world.
