Children of God

by JennJayBee

After the death of Pope Innocent VIII, Cardinal Rodrigo Borgia sets his sights on the papal throne. With the aid of his son Cesare and a powerful stranger named Kol, Rodrigo is named Pope Alexander VI. But power comes with a price, and as Kol remains in Rome to help secure Alexander's position, it becomes clear that he has plans for Cesare and his sister, Lucrezia.

1. Introduction

"Children of God" was my first fanfiction, and while it had a small following, I never finished it. Why? To be honest, I love the story that I have mapped out in my head, but the more I looked at what I'd written the more I hated it. It was confusing—written in first person from two different points of view. (The last installment was to include two additional points of view.) But then I didn't have much of a plan when I started out. Now that I've had a chance to go back and clean things up, I am re-releasing it. I've added to parts that were originally too short. I've cut parts that were longer than they should have been. Most importantly, I've switched to third person to make things less confusing.

I'll get the chapters uploaded as quickly as I can convert them. I'll also be leaving it up this time. It's a fun story full of sex and scandal and politics and war and vampires. I always thought that if anyone could have ever challenged the Mikaelsons, it would be the Borgias. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do.
