Namtar - The Night Plague
A Gothic Biological Thriller by C. D. Jones
Everything you know about the myth is a lie. The plague is an inheritance.
Vampires aren't seductive immortals. They are a weaponized evolutionary error—a crystalline extinction event waiting for the ice to melt.
For Alex Weston, the nightmares were just the cost of a fractured mind. But when the visions of a drowning civilization begin to bleed into the waking world, the "normal" life he fought to build shatters.
The Namtar are not folklore. They are a biological legacy of genetic corruption, designed by a brilliance that turned monstrous. For twelve millennia, these predators slept beneath the Antarctic shelf. Now, they are waking, establishing corruption nodes in the shadows of our greatest cities.
Alex is the final carrier of a light-wielder’s bloodline—a gift inherited from Atlantis itself. But his DNA holds a poison: the same genetic code that birthed the plague flows through his veins. To stop the extinction, Alex must reconcile with a father who abandoned him and master a power he fears.
Can you wield the light when you are kin to the dark?
For readers of Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s atmospheric dread, Justin Cronin’s sweeping biological stakes, and the gritty, scientific horror of The Strain.

Inside the Namtar World
THE ATLANTEAN LEGACY NO ONE WANTED
The Arete Foundation has operated in secret for millennia, protecting humanity from a threat most people don't know exists. Their underground facility beneath Paris's Montparnasse Tower houses warriors, scientists, and the last descendants of Atlantis—all united against the Namtar plague.
But when corruption spreads faster than containment, when your training instructor becomes the monster hunting your team, when the cure might cost more than you can survive losing—that's when being a guardian becomes something far more dangerous than destiny.
The mythology is deep. The action is brutal. The emotional cost is devastating.
And Alex Weston is running out of time to save the people who matter most.

The Archive Status
[INTERNAL MEMO: ARETE ORGANIZATION] Subject: Update on the Stoker Files (Bram Stoker Journals)
"The truth requires patience; deception requires only a moment."
To our dedicated Archivists and Guardians:
We have made the executive decision to move the official release of Namtar: The Bram Stoker Journals from January 2026 to spring/summer.
While the core narrative of Stoker’s hidden history is complete, new "artifacts" and encrypted documents have recently surfaced within the Arete Organization’s vault. To ensure the 12,000-year legacy is documented with absolute precision—and to "tidy up" the deep lore additions that connect the Night Plague to the Victorian era—we are extending the archival process.
This is not merely a delay; it is a containment of the full truth. We appreciate your vigilance as we prepare this essential companion to The Night Plague.
