A vampire called Sun in Ancient Sparta and beyond.

After meeting a mysterious barbarian who can turn into a wolf, Helios marches on Megalopolis with the rest of the Spartan army, only to be part of the defeat of 331BC at the hand of the Macedonians.

Worse than the defeat is the death of Helios' beloved, Kyros, and when the blond barbarian shows up while he's mourning, he lets Bran mesmerize him into accepting his gift.

Thus starts the life under the moon of Helios of Sparta, no longer a Hoplite and former Olympic champion. A novella of vampires through the centuries that will appeal to both historical fiction readers and vampires lovers all over the world.
