A HISTORY OF BLOOD
BLOOD REMEMBERS WHAT HISTORY FORGETS.
A Time-Travel Vampire Series Written by Judi Jordan.
Adapted for TV from The Black Castle 5-Book Series by Les Daniels.
Sebastián Aragón, lonely medieval historian plagued by fragmented memories and a blood disorder, is sent by LACMA to acquire Spain's Black Castle. His investigation yields a tomb-his own-and a long history of blood as Sebastián 7th Lord Aragón, 15th- century noble turned vampire by his beloved wife Ana, brilliant Sephardic alchemist burned by the Inquisition. Sebastián leverages time travel, tech and chess with vampiric vision to bend time, rewrite history and renew their love.
The series, based on the five volumes of Les Daniels' book series The Don Sebastian Chronicles (optioned), follows Sebastián's journey to master time travel, save Ana, and navigate the dangerous waters of both 15th century Spanish politics and modern-day challenges. As he grows into his dual identity, he must confront historical injustices, personal vendettas, and the far-reaching consequences of altering the past.
