Vampyrates! (2026)

Through the darkness of the thousand-year eclipse they sail, seeking adventure, treasure—and blood! In a world ruled by vampires, Empress Nira of the Night Isles has always cared more for sword-fighting and carousing than ruling. But when she escapes a vicious coup by stowing aboard VMS Abyss, a pirate ship run by the mysterious Captain Akeyo, she gets more than she can handle of both. She must rise through the ranks of the Vampyrates from lowly swab to queen of the Sea of Night—so the oceans will run red with her vengeance! 

Nira sails straight into new dangers both on and off the VMS Abyss! Vampire sharks! Ghost typhoons! Giant spiders! Threats abound, and to top it off, a mutiny looms on the horizon. Will Nira throw her lot in with the disgruntled crew for the overthrow of Captain Akeyo? Or will her plans be derailed by an unexpected visitor from her past?

Prepare for boarding! Swords and fangs are about to clash now that the Abyss faces capture! Admiral Penance of the Church's Holy Fleet has captured Captain Akeyo and the crew of the Abyss, and the only person who can save them is Nira. We can only be sure of one thing when one lone vampyrate faces a battleship full of sword-wielding fanatics: Blood will be spilled. Gallons and gallons of blood. But will it also mean survival in the end?

Raise your swords for the blood-splattered conclusion of the first arc! Nira and Akeyo have discovered the hidden vault-island of Absolution, and the secrets it holds are more terrifying than anyone in the Night Isles suspect.Trapped between a literal rock and the advancing Holy Fleet sent to destroy them, the crew of Abyss must make one final stand against the forces of the Vampyrium—live free, or die a Vampyrate!
