Dark Urban Fantasy • Adult Horror
"In the shadows of our modern world, an evolved race walks among us. They are the source of every vampire legend, every whispered tale of creatures in the night. But they are not undead—they are very much alive, and far more dangerous than any myth."
CONCEPT
The Valensi Chronicles is a dark, emotionally complex paranormal series that reimagines the vampire mythology
through the lens of near-immortality, loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of choosing between institutional duty
and personal conscience. Set against a backdrop of hidden supernatural hierarchies and emerging human awareness,
the series follows a cast of unforgettable characters as they navigate a world where the rules of near-immortality
are about to be rewritten.

THE PROMISE TO READERS
The Valensi Chronicles offers an escape into a vividly imagined world of hidden hierarchies and emerging conflict—but more importantly, it offers a mirror. Through near-immortal characters facing impossible choices, readers explore what loyalty really means, what institutions demand of us, and what it costs to choose conscience over obedience. These are stories about power, love, and the people brave enough to destroy their own lives for what they believe in.
This is paranormal fiction that respects both the genre and the reader's intelligence.

THE VALENSI CHRONICLES:
Where near-immortal beings confront mortality's greatest question—what are we willing to sacrifice for what we love?
Set in the modern day, this series follows the intricate relationships between Valensi, humans, and other evolved species like werewolves as they navigate love, betrayal, politics, and survival in a world that would destroy them if their existence became known. These are stories of power and passion, where near-immortality is a curse as much as a gift, and where the line between predator and prey shifts with every heartbeat.

A Valensi Chronicles Short
Sometimes the past has teeth.
Detective Sean Byrne never expected his routine
homicide case to crack open the supernatural world hiding beneath Dallas.
But when a supposedly famous, mysterious man named Damon Gables walks into his
investigation and claims to be over 200 years old, everything Byrne knows
about the world shatters. Together with a hunter named Greeley,
Byrne must navigate a decades-old vendetta between two near-immortal beings—a
predator consumed by possessive obsession and a man desperate to end the
cycle of violence before more innocents die.
NOTE: This novella can be read as a stand-alone tale.
Millennia ago, a branch of humanity evolved along a different path. The Valensi developed extended lifespans, enhanced physical capabilities, and heightened senses.
No one knows exactly how or why.
They are not undead—they live, breathe, age, and die like any living creature. But their evolution came with costs: dietary requirements that include human blood,
sensitivity to certain UV frequencies, and the need to live in secret. If their true presence becomes known, their future would likely be cut much shorter than expected.
The Valensi exist within human society, carefully hidden yet intimately connected. They've built complex power structures that span centuries, with ancient families controlling vast resources. Their society operates by strict codes that govern interaction with humans, territory disputes, and the sacred laws that keep their existence secret. Breaking these codes carries severe consequences.
The Valensi are not the only evolved species. Werewolves — humans who underwent a different evolutionary pressure — share this hidden world. Ancient rivalries and political alliances between species create a complex web of relationships that can shift from cooperation to conflict in an instant. Each species has learned to survive by adapting to the modern world while maintaining their essential nature.
The Waif • Valensi
A young woman whose life goes from abused and abandoned youth to the highest level of the Valensi to wanted fugitive. Paris is both a somewhat sheltered teenager and a 135 year old Valensi, who some consider to be one of the most dangerous people on the planet.
The Widow • Valensi
A centuries-old Valensi who has survived by adapting to every era. Her vast network of influence spans from legitimate businesses to underground power structures. Yet, she is just a broken-hearted woman with a deep desire for peace.
Valensi Elder • Head of the Hierarchy
The Magistrate has spent centuries growing his sphere of influence. He has served as the head of the Hierarchy (the ruling faction of the Valensi) for longer than most and is considered the most powerful Valensi alive.
Protector • Valensi
Garrett is a highly-regarded Protector, the "enforcement" faction of the Valensi who report directly to the Hierarchy. Garrett is a deceptively genteel man, who is also incredibly lethal and second only to Elijah in the Protectors.
