Swanson: The Uprising
For years, Stanley harbored a chilling belief—a war was coming. A war not between nations or ideologies, but between man and monster. The whispers in the dark, the lurking shadows that danced at the edge of human knowledge—creatures of the night—were real. And their existence was no longer just the subject of superstition or horror tales. It was fact. Dangerous, uncontrollable fact.
At the center of this unraveling nightmare lies a journal. Not just any journal—but a meticulously detailed, damning account of vampires and werewolves, written by a relentless journalist named Kain—a man presumed dead after a brutal attack. But Kain had survived. And his secrets, bleeding through every ink-stained page, are on their way to the most powerful man in the The President of the United States.
The moment the journal reaches the Oval Office, the world is set on a terrifying new course. Governments rise in fear. Action replaces diplomacy. Containment facilities are erected overnight. Collars, engineered to suppress and control supernatural powers, are distributed. The message is vampires and werewolves will no longer be free. Not all monsters will kneel.
From the bloodied alleyways of forgotten cities to the moonlit forests where werewolves howl their fury, the supernatural world fights back. Retaliation erupts in an explosion of chaos and carnage. Cities burn. Civilizations fracture. Humanity is thrown into a war unlike any it has ever known. And in the midst of this devastation, old loyalties are shattered.
Stanley learns the Kain is alive. His former friend. His confidant. The very man he once trusted with the sacred secrets of two ancient species. A man who now holds the power to bring them all to extinction.
To save what’s left of a crumbling world and to atone for the trust he misplaced—Stanley must hunt the one person who knows everything. He must find Kain. He must stop him. He must kill him. Before the journal falls into the wrong hands.
