Angels and Vampires by Lori J. Alaniva, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in December 2013, is a 502-page work of fiction that delves into a world on the brink of apocalypse. Set in the year 2112, the narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a devastated Earth, still recovering from the aftermath of World War III, which has decimated the human population. As meteoroids hurtle toward the planet, a giant blackthorn tree emerges at Saint Peter’s Basilica, drawing the faithful and straining the Vatican’s resources. The story follows a cardinal, a religious sister, and a young priest who join forces with Cain’el, a Nephilim vampire, in their quest for powerful religious artifacts.

The narrative pits them against Dragona’ra, a formidable vampire princess, and a powerful vampire Cardinal, all while exploring themes of faith and survival. The epic scope of the story is reminiscent of classical 19th-century literature, drawing inspiration from Eugène Sue’s The Wandering Jew. This edition offers a unique blend of fantasy and religious motifs, inviting readers to explore the complex interplay of good and evil in a world teetering on the edge of destruction.
Official synopsis Publisher
The countdown has started. One hundred and forty meteoroids are racing toward Earth this 2112-year of the Lord. The world is still reeling from the aftereffects of World War III, having lost 60% of the human population. National and international infrastructures are weakened, and Earth is unprepared to deal with the impending apocalypse. In these desperate times, a mysterious giant blackthorn tree erupts from the steps of Saint Peter’s Basilica. Many see it as a sign of hope from heaven, and the faithful fill Saint Peter’s Square, further taxing the Vatican’s limited resources. A cardinal, religious sister, and young priest team up with Nephilim vampire Cain’el, an outcast prince of Eden, in their quest for religious artifacts with magical powers. Their most deadly foe is an Asian underground crime leader known as Dragona’ra, a powerful vampire princess of Eden who deeply resents the Holy See’s efforts to rebuild the Church in China. Meanwhile, a powerful vampire Cardinal and his insane dwarf companion haunt the Vatican, preying on those who won’t be missed. A fight that began 25,000 years ago reaches its climax as Cain’el confronts the undead vampire prince Ab’el of Eden in a final battle. Angels and Vampires was inspired by Eugène Sue’s classical 19th century epic fantasy, The Wandering Jew.
