If you have not already read Book One of the Tugurlan Chronicles, Vampire Iniquity, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dan Tugur and I’m a vampire slayer.
In Vampire Iniquity, I did my best to introduce you to a world of darkness that is so shocking and incomprehensible you are sure to think it fiction, but trust me, it is very, very real. It is also something myself, and those closest to me, had the misfortune of experiencing first hand.
The disappearance of the fiancé of my best friend and martial arts instructor, Shen, was the catalyst of a chain of events that led to our own capture by evil black market trading and cannibalistic vampires. To complicate matters even more. I fell in love with a captive, Mei-Lien, who was only days away from turning vampire. I say complicate because I was already involved in a live-in relationship with, Jessica, a beautiful young woman that I cared for deeply. Mei-Lien helped us escape captivity as well as led me to the discovery that I am a descendant of the only family with the power to truly kill a vampire; the Tugurlan family. Armed with this knowledge and some custom made ammunition, Shen and my cousin, Bruce Tugur joined me in a mission to infiltrate the vampire’s den and destroy the vampires of iniquity and save as many victims as we could. Unfortunately, a few vampires managed to escape.
Fearing what might happen if these renegade vampires were allowed time to spread the word about our slaying abilities, but also recognizing our need of rest and to regroup and formulate a plan of action, we headed back to the seclusion of Bruce’s cabin in the hills of Owego, New York. The Cure picks up the story at this point.
As with Vampire Iniquity, I will do my best to keep the story flowing while telling the parts that occurred in my absence. I’ll weave myself into the story I create from the combination of my personal experiences and what I’ve learned happened from others. In the event that none of us were there, yet the event plays a vital role in my story, I’ll do my best to create a story that will satisfy your desire to be entertained, while alerting you of the darkness that lurks in the shadows. In short, I will continue to blend fantasy with reality.
So, I begin.
