A lifelong student of history, mythology, ancient cultures, and the stories humanity has carried from one generation to the next, Bunch brings those influences together in The Blood of Kings. The novel marks the beginning of The Bloodbound Chronicles, an ambitious series blending supernatural suspense, dark romance, historical mystery, ancient bloodlines, and immortal characters whose lives stretch across centuries.

At the center of his storytelling are characters who are rarely simply good or evil. They love, desire, fight, betray, protect, and make choices that carry consequences far beyond their own lifetimes. Bunch is particularly fascinated by the idea that history may contain more than what survived in the written record-and by the question of what might happen if the legends humanity dismissed as myth were never myths at all.

Born in Oklahoma and writing under the name JC Bunch, he draws inspiration from history, Norse mythology, family, and a lifelong fascination with the unexplained. His stories combine the ancient and the modern, placing extraordinary characters into worlds that remain recognizably human.

The Blood of Kings begins a much larger journey through love, war, blood, immortality, and the secrets buried beneath human history.

For JC Bunch, every legend begins somewhere.

And some legends never died.
