The flagship series remains the central project: Book I first, then the next two books in the core trilogy.

Current Flagship
Empire of Blood
Book I · A sci-fi vampire epic
Beneath the mortal world lies a vampire empire ruled by science, class hierarchy, propaganda, spectacle, and fear.
Kane wakes inside that empire with no memory and no past — only pain, a broken body, and a new life as a despised Convert.
Publishing Roadmap
What comes after the first gate opens.
This section positions Hell Forged Books as more than one release without overpromising dates before the work is ready.
A separate Hell Forged Books property planned for future development once the flagship foundation is stronger.
Future stories set before the core trilogy, designed to expand the history, violence, and machinery behind the Empire.
Author Archive
Legacy work remains part of the record.
Hell Forged Books is built around the future of Christopher Kilgore’s dark fiction, but earlier work such as Jason Teufel can still be preserved as part of the larger author archive.
The public catalog can expand as each title is ready to be presented professionally.
