What about Kim Harrison's 'The Hollows' series? While the protagonist is a witch, the world is packed with vampires who have a strict, ancient indentured servitude system. The vampire clans and their masters, like Piscary, have histories stretching back centuries, with complex maker-progeny relationships that drive major plots. You learn about their pasts, their betrayals, and how old debts shape the present. It’s a generational power structure embedded in a wider urban fantasy.

Not a book, but in terms of lore, the 'Legacy of Kain' video game series is a masterclass in this. The entire narrative is a twisted, time-bending saga of the vampire Kain and his chosen progeny, Raziel. It's all about destiny, corruption, and the burdens passed down a vampiric lineage. The writing and voice acting are novel-level. It’s a shame it's not a book series, because the plot has more generational intrigue and tragic family drama than most vampire novels I've read.

Paul Féval's 19th-century novel 'The Vampire Count' and its sequels are early examples. They deal with a vampire conspiracy across generations, influencing historical events. It's a classic, pulpy take where the vampire is less a person and more a hereditary evil passed down, a corrupting force in a family line. It's more about the human family cursed by the vampire than the vampire's own lineage.

Which fantasy sci fi book sagas follow generations of one family?

Have you tried the 'Sun Eater' series by Christopher Ruocchio? It's a recent one that's getting a lot of buzz. It's framed as the memoirs of Hadrian Marlowe, looking back on his long, long life and the galactic war he ignited. While it's mostly his first-person account, the weight of his family's legacy—the Marlowe name, their position in the Sollan Empire—is a massive part of his identity and the conflict. You see how his actions destroy and redefine that legacy. It's a slower, more philosophical burn than some military sci-fi, but the generational guilt and aristocratic duty themes are woven right into the sci-fi fabric. The family isn't just a backdrop; it's the cage he's trying to break.

What vampire saga offers the longest continuous family bloodline story?

I'm leaning towards 'The Originals' TV series as a contender. It's entirely about the Mikaelson family, the first vampires, and their thousand-year saga of love, betrayal, and survival. The show constantly uses flashbacks to show their past, making the continuous family narrative the core of every season. It's a melodramatic, but very focused, bloodline story.

What historical fiction book series follow multiple generations of one family?

Is it cheating to mention the 'Flashman' papers by George MacDonald Fraser? It follows one scoundrel through his career, not generations. Though his son appears later... not really. How about the 'Hornblower' series? Nope, one man's career. This question really shows the difference between a long series about one protagonist and a true multi-generational saga. The latter seems rarer. I love series like Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin, but it's the story of a friendship across many books, not a family dynasty. The family saga requires a different kind of planning, where characters age, die, and pass the torch. It's a special skill. Authors like Rutherfurd and Harrod-Eagles who manage it deserve a lot of credit.

What vampire novel series follow a single immortal character across eras?

For a complete tonal shift, there's 'The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant' by Drew Hayes. Fred is turned in the modern day, but the series (collections of connected stories) shows his un-life progressing over years, dealing with the supernatural community. It's not historical, but it is following a single immortal character across a progressing timeline in a contemporary setting, with each book advancing his career, friendships, and weird adventures. It's hilarious, heartwarming, and a fantastic deconstruction of the brooding vampire trope. If you want 'across eras' to mean 'across the evolving phases of his nerdy immortal life', this is perfection.

I've dabbled in writing fanfiction for vampire shows, and the 'bloodline' element is the most fun to play with. You can invent whole histories, ancient conflicts, and secret relatives. It's the ultimate sandbox for supernatural soap opera. Maybe that's why so many published series lean into it; it's a endlessly generative plot device.

What mafia book series follows multiple generations of one crime family?

The video game 'Mafia: Definitive Edition' (and the trilogy) tells a great linear story about a man rising in a crime family, but it's mostly one man's arc. 'Mafia II' and 'III' are connected, showing different perspectives in the same criminal universe across decades. You get a sense of the changing landscape—how the mob's influence wanes from the 40s/50s golden age to the 60s and 70s. Playing them in order gives a gut-level feel for the generational shift in organized crime in America.

What serialized vampire series follows one immortal across multiple eras?

I bounce off most vampire fiction because it takes itself too seriously. That's why I like the 'Fred, the Vampire Accountant' series by Drew Hayes. The protagonist is turned in the modern day, but the series introduces ancient vampires who are hilariously bad at adapting. The humor comes from the clash of ancient power with mundane modern life. It doesn't travel through past eras, but it explores the idea of being stuck in your own time, which is a funny twist on the immortal trope.

Which vampire fantasy sagas follow a vampire through centuries of history?

The 'Immortal' series by Gene Doucette follows an immortal man, not a vampire, but it hits all the same notes you're asking for. He's been alive since prehistoric times, and each book is a mix of present-day adventure and flashbacks to his experiences throughout history. It's funny, cynical, and gives a really grounded, often mundane take on what surviving for thousands of years would actually be like. If the vampire-specific requirement is flexible, this is a top-tier recommendation for the 'lives through history' premise.

Which science fantasy book series follow generations of one bloodline?

Can I offer a controversial pick? The 'Sword of Truth' series by Terry Goodkind. It follows Richard Cypher and his bloodline as the 'Seeker of Truth'. The early books establish a classic chosen-one lineage. However, the series' heavy-handed objectivist philosophy later dominates, and the 'bloodline' often feels like a justification for authorial preaching rather than organic storytelling. It's a polarizing example of the trope, but it's undeniably a major series in the genre that fits the description.
