BLOOD AND ASHES  - Urban novels & stories

BLOOD AND ASHES

Victor Amos Regannez
When a message appears saying, “Pay — or watch your wife fall,” Tobias Sheldon races to the hospital roof. There he finds his wife Elena—drugged, trembling, her eyes empty as the wind drags at her gown. He reaches for her— too late. She falls. But before the crowd can even scream, a van screeches in. Masked men lift her blood-soaked body… and disappear into the night. By morning, Tobias is in handcuffs, the city accusing him of murder, while his little son’s oxygen tank is counting down toward silence. Just when life crushes him completely… he finds a hidden micro-SD Elena secretly left for him— full of laundered money, fake loans, stolen hospital funds, and a secret route leading to a gold vault. The truth hits him like lightning: His downfall was planned. His debts were traps. His wife didn’t fall—she was taken. The same people who mocked him as a broke schoolteacher— senators, smugglers, accountants, and the corrupt powers feeding on the poor— will soon face the one man they should never have touched. Tobias Sheldon rises from the ruins as El Cuervo — The Crow, and he is coming for the gold trail, the van, and the lie that destroyed his family. When the Crow spreads his wings, every debt will be repaid — in blood and ashes.
