u/No-Young-9181

Hoping that someone out there has the same disjointed memory of this book as i do. Much of this is vague, but i know some things. Fantasy- adjacent, read it in 1995-2005. Set on Earth, but an Earth that has had either a magical uprising or a dimensional shattering, so that fantasy creatures roam. Pretty sure there were cyclopses and vampires. I believe at one point a character travels to some major pre-apocalypse cities like Paris.

The cover was mainly red, and i believe it was intended to be the first in a series, titled broken lands or broken world or shattered lands, or something? I know what its not. Its not :

- Vampire Earth series

- Shatttered Suns

Its been on the tip of my memory for 20+ years. Help me redditors!
