The Followers of Set hold a special place in my heart. They are the Set-worshiping, Caine-rejecting vampires who went from being one of the most ridiculous Clans in Vampire: The Masquerade to one of my all-time favorites. Presently, they hold a number #2 position for me in the setting with only Clan Malkavian ranking higher in people I'd want to be Embraced by. The Followers of Set are a group that is easy to get wrong but amazing if you get them right and a large part of why I love them is due to this book.
When they were originally created for the Vampire: The Masquerade Player's Handbook, they were essentially designed as one-note villains based on Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian. More precisely, they were based on the John Milinus movie interpretation of those works. Thulsa Doom as played by James Earl Jones turned into a snake, had a cult of drug and sex-addicted followers, plus worshiped a god of evil. Vampire: The Masquerade: Redemption even had a Setite temple as a place you massacred them in order to rescue Toreador sex slaves. No, no Cristof, the Toreador are the Setite's customers.
Eventually, the Followers of Set were essentially reimagined as Lavey-ian Satanists with a dash of Gnostic theism as well as a freshman philosophy student's understanding of Nieztsche. The Followers of Set hate the world and blame the gods for how awful it's become. They set themselves up against all that is good, just, and pure in the world because they see these things as social traps. Only by embracing transgression and freeing yourself from the shackles of human morality can you become the truest kind of vampire you can be.
As I've grown older, I've developed a certain disdain for the Sabbat that increases simultaneously while my respect for the Setites grows. The Sabbat have much the same rhetoric as the Setites. They're both vampire death cults that argue vampires should cast aside their humanity to embrace (*rimshot*) posthuman morality. However, the Sabbat strike me as poseurs by comparison. The Setites have been doing this for 10,000 years and are very good at the intellectual study of evil and why it's a better thing than good. I grok their message and think they're the only group aside from the Children of Haqim that can coherently explain what a Path of Enlightenment is as well as why you should follow one.
This is all due to Hesha Ruhadze.
Hesha is one of the two stars of CLAN NOVEL: SETITE with the other being the more conventional Elizabeth Dimitrios. Hesha is the antithesis of the original Setites who could not have been more overt in their villainy. Hesha dresses stylishly, talks rationally, and lacks the vast majority of Elder snootiness that turns most Neonates Anarch until they age into power of their own. Indeed, if you met Hesha in-game, you'd probably consider him a fairly cool NPC that could be relied upon in a jam.
Hesha is a monster.
Hesha's a monster that realizes what almost no other Devil figures in literature do and the best way to destroy someone is to give them exactly what they want with no word twisting or sudden but inevitable betrayals. Hesha manipulates, lies, and destroys the lives of those around him like a boss. He does it in such a way that the people around him believe he's their good friend and are grateful for his corruption of their souls. Hesha isn't their friend but he's happy to play the role if it gets him what he wants. Making Thompson respect him as his mentor and Elizabeth love him are the equivalent of giving dogs a treat in order to train them. Hesha keeps his tools sharp and in comfort while emotionally dependent on him.
Elizabeth is a good protagonist as she serves in the thankless role of being the "normal" one who has to get to know Hesha and fall for his charms. She's believable, though, and a human character who doesn't suck. There's a lot of tension that doesn't normally exist in vampire romance fiction because the vampire in question is usually a teddy bear with fangs. Elizabeth avoids being aggressively stupid or romantic like quite a few vampire romance heroines. When she realizes what she's trapped in a relationship with, it's quite impressive the lengths she goes to in order to survive.
Clan Novel: Setite is probably the best of the Clan Novels and it's kind of hilarious in our post-Twilight era that it reads as a well-written parody of that kind of fiction. The story is framed as a love story between Elizabeth and Hesha. She's a young art historian and restorer who meets the handsome yet mysterious Hesha while slowly coming to realize that he holds some dark secret.
The dark secret is not that he's a vampire: Hesha dangles that truth in front of her so she believes he's opening up to him. No, that secret is that Hesha is a predator that cannot love and is perfectly able to fake normal human emotions. Ramona and Zhavon are a love story that can never be because the Beast destroys true love. Hesha and Elizabeth are a love story that can never be because if all your instincts tell you a man is a master manipulator as well as practiced liar--then he probably is.
The big appeal of this novel is that it is a fairly self-contained story that actually gives good insight into how to run a specific clan. It avoids all the various cliches that were (then) associated with the Followers of Set and creates a new canon for how they should be run. I've run EXPYs of Hesha in several of my games and even stole his character as the basis for a PC. The book works well as both a stand-alone as well as a greater part of the series, giving more reason why we should care about the Eye of Hazmiel plot than Leopold the Gangrel Slayer ever did. It also chooses subtlety as its weapon versus the overt action movie fights that predominate in this series. This is one of the must reads of the Clan Novel set.

If you plan to read Clan Novel Ravnos (also by the same author), I'd highly recommend you read this one first, as the stories are twinned and feature the same two main characters.
The characters are great, and Hesha is as good an exmaple of a Setite as Khalil is of a Ravnos. Definately my two favorite characters and books in the series.

Quite probably my favorite book of the entire Clan Novel series. Hesha Ruhadze depicted in evocative and thought-provoking fashion by Kathleen Ryan.
I was amazed that Hesha did so much with just words and attitude, avoiding the usual Kindred method of ghouling his subordinates. Setite was a pleasure to read for many reasons, including how it made me see that subtlety, rather than certainty, of control was something to aspire to.

The series keeps going, and so does its momentum. I'm really getting into these books even though I've no knowledge of the LARP. I've even hit a point where the occasional grammar/spelling errors that occur don't bother me (which is a thing that often does when I catch it). The books are paced well. If you're into vampire novels, you should read these.

The story continues, once again at a different, appropriate pace for the chapter.
Slow? At times.
Corrupting? Yes.
Setite? Definitely.
Besides, for the ones in the know of the lore, a hint: Week of Nightmares.

Vampire Η μεταμφίεση. Σετίτες
Μυθιστορήματα πατριάς Vampire, η μεταμφίεση. Προσωπικά τη θεωρώ την καλύτερη σειρά με ήρωες τα αγαπημένα πλάσματα της νύχτας. Από τις πιο ενδιαφέρουσες προσπάθειες καταγραφής μιας ολοκληρωμένης εικόνας της σύγχρονης κοινωνίας των βαμπίρ, με εξαιρετικό λόγο, μικρές υπέροχες αισθητικές λεπτομέρειες στις σελίδες, μια πλοκή που επενδύει στη δράση και στην πολυπλοκότητα, "ζωντανοί" χαρακτήρες με προσωπικότητα, αυτόνομοι, ενδιαφέροντες, συναρπαστικοί, υπέρμετρα φιλόδοξοι,που σε παρασέρνουν με τις σκοτεινές τους δυνάμεις και τα μακάβρια σχέδιά τους για την ανθρωπότητα.
Τα παιχνίδια εξουσίας ανάμεσά τους θα μπορούσαν να χαρακτηριστούν μια μικρή αλληγορία της σύγχρονης πολιτικής σκηνής (σε πιο ελεύθερη απόδοση). Η σειρά αποτελείται από 13 βιβλία, καθένα εκ των οποίων καταπιάνεται με μία φατρία βαμπίρ, που συγκεντρώνει μοναδικά χαρακτηριστικά και ιδιότητες.
Επέλεξα για παρουσίαση την "οικογένεια" των Σετιτών, καθώς ήταν η πιο αγαπημένη μου. Διευκρίνιση και επιπλέον προτέρημα της σειράς αποτελεί το γεγονός πως δεν γράφεται από έναν μόνο συγγραφέα, χωρίς ευδιάκριτες διάφορες στο ύφος, και το κάθε επόμενο βιβλίο πιάνει κατά κάποιο τρόπο την ιστορία από εκεί που την άφησε το προηγούμενο, ενώ την ίδια στιγμή λειτουργούν και αυτόνομα μέσα στο σύνολο. Υπάρχουν προσωπικότητες που θα τις συναντήσετε κι αργότερα!! Εκδόσεις Φανταστικός κόσμος.

Imo, this is the first good book (Gangrel was decent) in the series. It has a mysterious and charming signature character. It has well written background characters. It doesn't suffer from the defragmentation and story gaps as the previous books did. Finally, the whole Eye of Gehenna story starts to come together. Unfortunately, it does require prior understanding of the World of Darkness lore. Unfortunately, it also requires prior knowledge of the previous entries (well, it would help at least). But, for a book that is inspired by a tabletop game, Setite Clan Novel does its job well - it entertains.

La verdad que leyendo esta saga, este libro va siendo el que más me a gustado.
No soy partidario de las calificaciones con numeros pues nunca representan realmente lo que pienso. En este caso mis 4 estrellas se las a ganado por romper mis espectativas(en el buen sentido).
De novelas oscuras, cargadas de conflictos politicos y gore saltamos a esta historia, donde todo ronda en torno a una simple mujer, humana, que desconoce la existencia de los vampiros.
Y al rededor de ella empiezan a moverse los conflictos.
Me encantó el final y la perspectiva del vampiro, quien como ser inteligente y antiguo no cae en romanticismos ni obseciones más propias de un adolecente.
Me gustó.

No estamos frente a una novelita donde un vampiro carilindo de 400 años se enamora de una chica que dejó de jugar con muñecas hace 6 meses. Este libro muestra lo más cercano a un sentimiento que puede tener un vampiro del Mundo de Tinieblas: algo muy parecido al hambre.
Casi todos los capítulos se leen rápido, generan interés y ganas de seguir leyendo. Tiene algunos puntos más densos, un par de páginas de más aquí y de menos allá, pero no deja de ser muy bueno.

The Setite book is the 4th of the clan novel series and so far is the slowest, most boring of the books yet.
Admittedly, finding the value of this book is deeper than surface level. This book delves into the deception, the secrecy, the humanity and the tenderness of the world of darkness. The story builds very slowly and has only a few moments of tense action, but if you soak in the underlying attributes, you'll discover why the Followers of Set are so intriguing.

Hasta ahora la mejor novela de Clan que he leído. No tiene acción como las anteriores pero en ella podemos ver como un ser de más de 4 siglos piensa y trata a los mortales; además de sentir como una simple mortal puede despertar en él a la bestia que todo vampiro tiene y lucha por controlar . El clan Setita es de pensadores y Hesha Ruhadze es un digno representante de ese clan. En definitiva es una novela que a pesar de ser un poco lenta, disfrutas la mayoría de capítulos.

This is a fantastic series if you are a fan or player of the Vampire the Masquerade Table Top game. I gave it a 3 because I don't recomend this series to those who are not.
August 2, 2014
A good story, but too much "secret society" and not enough action, for my taste. The Setite Clan are thinkers, not doers. Courage is not their strong point.

This is a major improvement over Gangrel, and Hesha is an interesting snake.

While I still don't recommend this series to anyone unfamiliar with the VtM setting, this book might actually stand on its own as a thriller. The "might" is there only because the events of this book really need the context of the previous three in the series to make sense.

Good, interesting eoigh for me to still be thinking about. I still spent the whole novel waiting for something to happen, but not in a way that bored me.

4/5 Stars first reading
4/5 Stars second reading
The Clan Novel series is a basically a supplement / merchandise for the Vampire the Masquerade RPG. Each novel describes one of the 13 vampire clans in the World of Darkness and as a series it drives the meta-plot forward. If you try to read them without the context of the WoD RPGs I would distract 1 star and another star if you try to read them as individual novels and not as a series. They only make sense in context.
Summary
Review
Clan Novel Setite is the fourth book in the series and so far the closest to be able to be read as a standalone. Like the other clan novels it is devided into three parts. One (the first) focuses on the name giving clan, another one (the last) focuses on the underlying meta-plot. The middle part focuses on one aspect of the vampire society in the World of Darkness, in this case the concept of retinue. Like the other clan novels it has also flash scenes of a main character of another clan novel that is mostly unrelated to the story, in this case it’s the Nosferatu Calebros. Victoria Ash and Khalil Ravenna have short appearances.
Clan Novel Setite describes two believable characters, Hesha Ruhadze and Elizabeth Dimitros and the relationship between the two. Like the Gangrel clan novel and unlike the first two novels of this series the three parts of the book play together well enough to form a consistent novel. It lacks the glaringly obvious plot holes that plague the first three books. The downside is that the third part that advances the meta-plot feels vague and hurried. Of course the protagonists at this stage don’t understand what caused the “Week of Madness” and how it ended, but that is not the only thing that is left vague and not the reason a whole third of the book feels hurried.

I found the characters flat and wished we got more insight into the Followers of Set. Not much happens in the terms of big events, and some of the events that do happen won't make much sense if you don't know VtM lore.
February 25, 2020
A ratos la novela se ve atrapada entre cuatro paredes, sin avanzar, sin aportarnos nada. La novela no logra meternos en la piel de ninguno de sus tres personajes principales, a pesar de que parece ser ese su objetivo atendiendo a la lentitud del desarrollo y la abundante detención en detalles.

Romance and intrigue
This story has a nice little mix of romance and intrigue. Expanding upon the hunt for the evil eye, there is a globe trotting adventure in the style of Indiana Jones, a thriller, and romance with a lot of horror intertwined.

This novel in the Masquerade: Clan Novel series was just ok. It moved the series forward. But you could tell that the author was different and not that into the differences amongst the clans.

While playing a character of this clan I felt amazing!
It was unique and very interesting...unlike this book...
It was a dull and confusing story that I didn't enjoy as much as expected.
