The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Ascension: the 1986 Chernobyl disaster opened a rift in reality that allowed two humanoid alien races, the Mineans and Dayaks, to enter our world. The two races are at war, and it is hinted that they have a close genetic relationship and close cultural ties with humanity. This suggests a mutual origin of some sort.

The two primary characters are Andromeda Weaver, an ambitious geneticist...and Lucien Barnes, a hardened mercenary soldier. They are caught up in this conflict.

Both are transformed by mystical pages of the Mineans and Dayaks: Andromeda becomes a blue-skinned empath, and Lucien grows wings and gains super-strength and durability, becoming gargoyle-like.

They befriend Petra, the heir to the Minean throne, to help her in her fight against the Dayaks.
