Protocol

Of Blood and Dragon: Protocol by Raymond Potter A weapon born in shadow. A lie built in light. And the war that will decide which survives. Navelle was engineered to be perfect—disciplined, loyal, unbreakable. Every pill, every mission, every whispered "good boy" has forged him into humanity's ultimate weapon against the vampire kings. But perfection comes at a cost. When fragments of forbidden memory begin to surface, Navelle starts to question everything—the experiments, the scientists who raised him, and the mysterious "mother" assigned to love him. Behind the mirrored walls and sterile labs lies a truth too dangerous to name: the monsters he's been trained to destroy may not be the real enemy. As his conditioning fractures and his powers spiral beyond control, Navelle becomes the very thing the world fears most—a weapon that remembers it was once human. And somewhere, buried beneath the lies, a king is waking. From the world of Of Blood and Dragon comes a chilling new chapter of bio-engineered warfare, identity, and betrayal. A fusion of dark fantasy, psychological sci-fi, and gothic warfare, Protocol explores what happens when the line between creation and corruption finally disappears.
