Before he became Dublin's most feared vampire, Nathaniel Byrne was simply a man.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of late eighteenth-century Ireland, The Vampire Nathaniel tells the tragic origin story of the immortal predator listeners first encounter in A Vampire in Dublin.

When young scholar Nathaniel Byrne accepts an invitation to the mysterious Blackwater Hill estate, he becomes fascinated by its beautiful and enigmatic owner, Lady Seraphine de Vallois. What begins as intellectual curiosity soon spirals into obsession as Nathaniel uncovers secrets buried beneath ruined chapels, forgotten crypts, and centuries of blood-soaked history.

Drawn ever deeper into Seraphine's dark world, Nathaniel finds himself caught between love and corruption, family and hunger, salvation and damnation. As his humanity slowly slips away, he must confront the terrible cost of immortality and the devastating consequences of surrendering to his darkest desires.

Rich with gothic atmosphere, dark romance, supernatural horror, and historical intrigue, The Vampire Nathaniel explores the making of a monster and the heartbreak that lies at the centre of every immortal curse.
