The Curse of Cain

2022

Welcome to the Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged. I'm Doctor Cain. I'll be supervising your treatment plan. Yes, before you ask, I am that Cain. I've come a long way since I became the world's first murderer. I'm now a licensed psychiatrist. What is it you just asked? You heard that I was cursed? Yes, I'm also the world's first werewolf... But don't worry. I have it under control. It won't interfere with your progress at Vilokan Asylum. 3 BOOKS IN ONE MASSIVE VOLUME! Includes... The Curse of Cain: When a necromancer is admitted to Vilokan Asylum against her will, and she evokes the ghost of Cain's murdered brother, Abel, he'll have to do more than treat the patient... he'll have to confront the ghosts of his past, literally. Razing Cain: After agreeing with the new Vampire Council to take on their newest batch of younglings, and help them tame their blood cravings, things quickly get out of hand at Vilokan Asylum. Dr. Cain will need more than a "blood suckers" support group to get a handle on the issue. He'll require the aid of Baron Samedi... of course, when the Baron is involved, his help almost always comes at a cost. Cain and Angel: A fallen angel has a change of heart. She just can't stomach the big guy "downstairs" and his propensity for torture, fire, and all that devilish crap. But she's burned her bridges with the celestials, too. When she comes to Vilokan Asylum, she hopes Cain's experience with the guy "upstairs" can help her find her own path on the narrow road between the warring leagues of angels. But when the Archangel Michael is sent to arrest the "unfallen" angel, Cain must approach the Divine for the first time in several millennia to advocate for his patient.

The Mark of Cain

2022

I'm Doctor Cain. I'll be supervising your treatment plan. Yes, before you ask, I am that Cain. I've come a long way since I became the world's first murderer. I'm now a licensed psychiatrist. What is it you just asked? You heard that I was cursed? Yes, I'm also the world's first werewolf... But don't worry. I have it under control. It won't interfere with your progress at Vilokan Asylum. Includes... The Mark of When a vampire coven attempts to assassinate Cain they fall under the seven-fold curse. They become "wolves." Now, as he's been forced to do many time throughout the centuries, he has to help those who want him dead. After all, you can't have wolf-vamps running loose in New Orleans. But the coven-turned-wolfpack is the least of Cain's problems. The ancient vampire who sent the bloodsuckers to kill him to begin with is out for blood. Can Cain stop him? Cain is the pack's alpha. The ancient vampire is their sire. Who will they obey? The Cowl of Cain : For more than a century Cain wore the cowl. An enchanted infernal object, given him by the Witch of Endor, that prevented him from shifting every full moon. But the cowl demanded blood. It warped his mind, returning him to his murderous origins. If he didn't kill, the cowl would do the opposite, it would reverse his curse, leaving him in werewolf form during the waxing and waning moon. Unwilling to kill again, Cain thought he destroyed the cowl. Until another werewolf appears in New Orleans, always transformed and wearing the cowl, leaving a trail of bodies in its path. When the full moon rises and their roles are reversed, Cain recognizes the cowl-wearing wolf. He's never been so frightened. The Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged is a paranormal romp, diving into a world of voodoo, werewolves, vampires, and magic. Dr. Cain is a snarky werewolf, an Old Testament character brought to life in a modern day fantasy setting. Readers of Monroe's Legacy of a Vampire Witch or The Legend of Nyx have met Dr. Cain before. Now, we get a deeper look into the world of magic and mayhem that is the Vilokan Asylum.

Cain and the Cauldron

2022

Someone stole the Cauldron of Rebirth from Eden. With it comes the power to resurrect anyone from the past. We thought we defeated these villains for good. Can we possibly stop them all now that they're back and working together? I have a patient who may be able to help. If I ask, her, I'll have to cross a line I swore I never would. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world if he forfeits his soul? That principle makes sense. But I'm not trying to gain the world. I'm trying to save it. The cost may still be my soul. But I don't think I have any other choice.

Cain's Cobras

2022

My parents blamed a snake for all of their problems. Until I killed my brother. Then, they blamed me, too. I never expected that when I admitted patients who wielded the aspect of Aida-Wedo and Damballa that so many snakes would follow. I'm beginning to wonder if my parents were right. Is there more to these creatures than meets the eye? I'm getting stronger. Abel is, too. We're gaining new abilities. Why don't the snakes have this effect on anyone else? They say that the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. I never thought I'd have to face my parents' same temptation. And the rest of the world may have to pay the price. Again.

The Wrath of Cain

2022

Mess with a werewolf, prepare to get bit. Mess with my patients, prepare to die. The Witch of Endor went too far. It was one thing when she warped my mind, but now she's threatening the health and lives of my patients. Is it wrong to kill someone who is supposed to be dead, anyway? I'm done debating the ethics of it all. It's time for the witch to die.

Theophilus Monroe is a fantasy author with a knack for real-life characters whose supernatural experiences speak to the pangs of ordinary life. After earning his Ph.D. in Theology, he decided that academic treatises that no one will read (beyond other academics) was a dull way to spend his life. So, he began using his background in religious studies to create new worlds and forms of magic-informed by religious myths, ancient and modern-that would intrigue readers, inspire imaginations, and speak to real-world problems in fantastical ways.
