Crimson Heir: Rise Of The First Blood
BLURB
Rylan Vane was born a noble but died a nobody. Stripped of his bloodline and cast into the lowest caste of vampire society, he survives in the shadows of the undercity, feeding on vermin and hiding from enforcers who would finish what his family’s betrayers started.
He is weak, nameless, and forgotten.
But when a brush with death forces him into the forbidden Catacombs of Flesh, he discovers something impossible: a Seal of the First Blood, an ancient heirloom forged by the progenitor of all vampires. The Seal should have destroyed him, instead, it bonded to him, awakening a power no vampire has possessed in a millennia, and a terrifying ability to hear the Echoes of other Seals scattered across the Dominion.
Now Rylan must navigate a world that wants him dead. Noble houses will hunt him for the power he carries. The Empress, who has ruled for a thousand years through her own Seal, will see him as a threat to her throne. And the Seals themselves whisper to him, offering power beyond imagination, at a price that may cost him his soul.
From the gutters of Nyxara to the heart of the Crimson Throne, Rylan will rise. But the question is not whether he can become powerful enough to survive. The question is what he will become in the process.

Chapter: 160CHAPTER 160THE LAST CRIMSON Rain continued falling across the Dominion for three straight days. By the fourth morning, the world had already begun changing. The noble houses descended into chaos almost immediately after the destruction of the Seals. Ancient blood bonds that had enforced obedience for centuries no longer existed, servants abandoned their masters, lesser vampires walked away from noble territories without fear of punishment, entire estates fell silent overnight as generations of forced loyalty disappeared. Some houses attempted to cling to power through violence, others tried negotiation, a few simply collapsed beneath the weight of panic. Blood alone no longer guaranteed authority and no one knew how to survive in a world where power could no longer command obedience naturally.Rylan watched the consequences unfold from the capital. Like a world learning how to breathe again after centuries beneath water. The destruction of the sanctuary had left scars across his bod

Chapter: 159CHAPTER 159A WORLD REWRITTEN The world shattered. The crimson throne room collapsed into fragments of light as cracks spread across the sky itself. Towers crumbled into nothingness, streets dissolved beneath waves of violent energy. The First Vampire’s empire, preserved for thousands of years within the Seals, finally began to die. The ancient ruler staggered backward, fear completely taking over him. “No,” he said, his voice trembling as pieces of his body broke apart into crimson ash. “You don’t understand what you’ve done.”Rylan stood motionless as the storm of power spiralled around him. The Seals no longer fought within him. Their voices had gone silent, their hunger had disappeared, his mind finally felt entirely his own. The First Vampire reached toward him desperately. “You needed me.” Rylan said nothing. The ancient ruler’s expression twisted between rage and panic as the throne behind him disintegrated. “I built this world!”“And destroyed it,” Rylan replied quietly.The

Chapter: 158CHAPTER 158UNBINDING Cassian collapsed to his knees. The throne room trembled around him as cracks spread through the crimson city beyond. The certainty that had carried him through centuries of schemes, betrayals, and sacrifices had finally shattered. He stared at the First Vampire with hollow eyes, searching for some trace of the master he had devoted his life to. He found nothing. The First Vampire’s attention had already shifted entirely to Rylan. The ancient ruler stepped forward, his dark robes moving like living shadows. Behind him, the crimson city stretched endlessly beneath blood-red skies. Towers pierced the heavens while countless lights glowed in distant windows. It was an empire frozen in perfection, an empire built upon suffering.“Look at him,” the First Vampire said calmly.Rylan glanced at Cassian. The ancient vampire looked broken, defeated, and utterly forgotten. “You gave him everything,” Rylan said. The First Vampire shrugged. “He was useful.”Cassian flinched

Chapter: 157CHAPTER 157THE TRUTH OF THE FIRST VAMPIRE Reality continued breaking around them. Fragments of the ancient city drifted through the sanctuary like ghosts. One moment, Rylan stood among shattered stone and collapsing walls, the next, he stood beneath a crimson sky overlooking impossible towers. Then the vision shifted again. The ancient vampire recovered first. With a roar, he launched himself forward. Their collision sent another shockwave through the sanctuary. Stone exploded and crimson lightning flashed as the storm of Seal energy surrounding Rylan erupted violently around them. Cassian struck with centuries of skill. Rylan answered with raw power. The battle became chaotic. They crashed through walls, tore through pillars, and shattered ancient chambers that had survived thousands of years. Yet even as they fought physically, something else was happening.The Seals had connected too deeply. Their minds were no longer entirely separate. Every strike carried memories, Every clash

Chapter: 156CHAPTER 156THE FIVE SEALSThe ancient vampire crossed the distance between them in an instant, his fist crashing into Rylan’s chest with enough force to launch him through a stone wall. Ancient masonry exploded around him as he crashed into a neighbouring chamber. Before he could recover, Cassian was already there. A kick struck his side. Ribs cracked. The Seal of Flesh immediately surged into action, repairing the damage almost as quickly as it happened. Rylan wiped blood from his mouth. Then lunged. Darkness erupted from the floor. The Seal of Shadow answered his command instantly. Black tendrils shot upward, twisting through the air like living serpents. Cassian cut through them, Every single one. Rylan’s eyes widened. The First Vampire’s power had made him nearly unstoppable against everyone else. Cassian simply kept walking.“You rely on power.” The ancient vampire struck again. Rylan barely blocked but the impact still sent him skidding backwards. “You think possessing strengt

Chapter: 155CHAPTER 155THE ARCHITECT OF RUINThe collision shook the chamber. Stone cracked beneath their feet as Rylan and Cassian slammed into one another with enough force to send a shockwave through the ancient sanctuary. Dust rained from the ceiling, and the air itself seemed to tremble. Rylan struck first. His fist crossed the distance between them like lightning, but Cassian caught it effortlessly. For a moment neither moved. Then Cassian smiled. “You’ve grown stronger.” Rylan drove his other hand forward. Cassian twisted aside and struck him across the jaw. The blow launched Rylan across the chamber and through a stone pillar. The entire structure collapsed behind him. For a second he sat among the rubble, stunned…not by the damage, but by how easily Cassian had done it. The ancient vampire approached at an unhurried pace, calm and patient, as though this wasn’t a battle but a lesson. “You finally possess the Five Seals,” Cassian said. “Do you know how long I waited for this moment?” Ryl

Abandoned King Gives No Mercy: Hell Will Burn
Blurb
She believed the lies.
Her mother made sure of it.
One moment, I was her husband. The next, I was a monster in her eyes — a poor man accused of hurting the woman I loved. They threw pictures in my face, forged proof, and handed me divorce papers. And she, Sally, stood there in silence. Not a word. Not a tear.
That was the day I died — and a king was born.
Years later, I returned richer, colder, and untouchable. The world now bows to my name. But my revenge is just beginning… until Yvonne Wells, a scandal-tarnished model, storms into my life. She was supposed to be my contract girlfriend — a shield against the chaos. I never meant to drag her into my storm, but she became the only light that could calm it.
Now, the same family that destroyed me is crawling back, desperate to rewrite the past. But I’m not that broken man anymore.
I’m the king they abandoned — and this time, I give no mercy.

Her breaths were sharp, uneven. Her ankle trembled every time she lifted it, but she didn’t stop.Not once.At the top of the ladder, the wind hit us hard and violently, like the sky itself didn’t want us here. The roof was flat, wide, marked with an old landing pad symbol faded by storms.The helicopter waited on the far side.Blades spinning lazily.Engine humming.A quiet, hungry sound.Lysander stood beside it.He didn’t look rushed.Or panicked.Or threatened.He looked patient, like a man waiting for a delayed meeting.Danica and Reina reached the roof behind us, guns raised.

Aiden stumbled, nearly tripping over a pipe. Evan yanked Derrick up by his collar like he weighed nothing.Lysander’s voice echoed through the fog, calm even as chaos erupted:“Do not let them reach the top level.”A set of armored footsteps followed fast, disciplined.More than one.Too many.We reached the main staircase, a rusted spiral bolted onto the side of the platform structure. It groaned under the storm wind, swaying just slightly.Danica cursed under her breath. “This thing’s held together by prayer.”“Move,” I said.I didn’t care if it snapped under uswe weren’t surviving the alternative.Reina grabb

Chapter: 118CHAPTER 118: The Line That BreaksEthan's Pov;The platform vibrated under our feet. Wind slammed into the rusting beams, and the ocean roared beneath us like it wanted to swallow the whole structure. Everything felt unstable: the metal, the air, even the people around me.But nothing was more unstable than Evan standing in front of me.His chest rose and fell too fast. His jaw trembled, just barely. His eyes wouldn’t settle. They flicked from me, to Lysander, to the others, then back to me like he was searching for an escape from his own skin.“Ethan…” he whispered. “Don’t listen to him.”I didn’t move.I didn’t trust myself to move.Lysander stepped forward, that same quiet smile cutting across his face.“I see the way you hesitate,” he said. “You already know the truth.”Evan flinched like the words burned.And maybe they did.Yvonne’s hand tightened around my arm small, shaking, but grounding. Her grip told me she felt everything I felt: anger, confusion, fear, betrayal twisting i

I pulled her behind me, feeling her fingers curl into the back of my shirt, shaking with terror and exhaustion.A hum followed deep, mechanical and a sleek helicopter lowered closer to the platform’s upper deck. Its rotors kicked up sprays of saltwater, whipping our hair and clothes.A man stepped out.Lysander Vale.Tall.Refined.Suit immaculate, even here.Black gloves.Silver cuffs.A face as calm as a surgeon’s, with eyes dead enough to belong to a corpse.He walked with the confidence of someone who owned the world.And in his mind, he did.Danica whispered behind me, “That’s him.”Reina murmured, “We’re screwed.”Aiden whimpered, “I knew we should’ve turned ourselves in.”Evan didn’t move.Lysander reached the edge of the platform, his movements precise, almost elegant.

The engine rattled beneath Evan’s grip, coughing like it might die at any moment.We were barely ahead of Cole’s pursuit.Barely.Yvonne sat pressed against my side, fingers digging into my shirt. She was still shaking, her breaths small and uneven. Saltwater dripped from her hair, her lips pale from the cold. Every time the boat hit a wave, she winced, her ankle throbbing, ribs bruised, skin raw.“Are you warm enough?” I murmured.Her voice was thin. “Not really.”I pulled her closer. She let her head drop against my shoulder, clutching me tighter.Reina shouted over the engine, “I see lights up ahead!”Danica narrowed her eyes. “Platform. Abandoned.”Aiden groaned. “Oh great. Another abandoned death trap.”Derrick whimpered, “Why can’t we just… surrender? They want Ethan, not us!”Evan spun and smacked the back of Derrick’s head. “Say somethi

She was still coughing water, still trembling, her fingers cold as ice against my arm.Evan lifted his gun. “Where is he?!”Reina scanned the shadows. “He’s moving. Fast.”Danica hissed, “He’s using the fog. He’s not working alone.”“No,” I growled. “He never does.”Cole had always been a parasite too weak alone, too smart to stay that way.My ribs screamed as I helped Yvonne stand. She tried walking but nearly collapsed again.“Easy,” I said, grabbing her waist.She swallowed. Her voice was thin and shaky: “Ethan… please don’t let him take me again.”I tightened my hold on her, jaw clenched. “He won’t touch you.”“You can’t promise that,” she whispered.“I just did.”Her eyes filled with terror and something else that hurt worse than my wounds.Trust.Pure, blind trust.Even after everything, she still looked at me like I cou
