Paul was having the worse day of his life. He has completed school but was without a job and had to return home to stay with his mom. And when the parents of his girlfriend, Talatu, insisted that she marries a doctor working abroad, Paul was devastated. But out of the blues, Eric, his school friend, called.

Cain Mercer was the CIA's deadliest black-ops asset. He could enter any room, eliminate any target, and vanish without a trace. They called him a ghost—not because he was invisible, but because he left no evidence behind. Then the Siberia mission changed everything. An explosion at a classified research facility should have killed him. Instead, it unlocked something inside Cain's mind. Now he sees them: the Strays—flickering, predatory remnants of the dead that drift through our world like interference on a dying radio. They're invisible to everyone else. And they're hunting. The Agency branded him insane, locked him away in a deep-cover psychiatric facility. But when impossible assassinations begin targeting high-value global assets—each victim found with the same static-burn scar Cain carries on his chest—they have no choice but to unearth their broken weapon. Cain is offered a deal: track the killer, stop the attacks, and earn his freedom. But the deeper he digs, the darker the truth becomes. The Strays aren't random. They're being directed by someone inside the Agency itself—a ghost from Cain's past who knows exactly what he's become. To survive, Cain must embrace the very thing that terrifies him most: he's not just a ghost operative. He's the only one who can fight ghosts. And the war has only just begun.

Ivarn Merrow was an ordinary man with an ordinary life. Until he died. Waking up in a strange world full of demons, angels, monsters, and magic was already more than he could handle. But things got a lot worse when he found out his death had been written down in an ancient document called the Mortality Ledger. And there was one problem with that. He died 847 years before he was born. In Elarion, death follows strict laws. Every living creature has a recorded ending, and even the gods can't get around the authority of the Mortality Ledger. So when the celestial authorities discovered Ivarn's impossible existence, they decided he had to be erased. Luckily, the Devil had other plans. Zevrakh Dreadmoor, ruler of the demons and one of the most feared beings in existence, insists that Ivarn's death was illegal. And apparently, he means to challenge the verdict. Now Ivarn is caught between divine authorities, demon politics, ancient secrets, and creatures that never should have existed. He has to uncover the truth behind his impossible death. But the deeper he digs, the uglier the truth gets. The Mortality Ledger is hiding something. The gods aren't telling the whole story. And the Devil may be far more dangerous than anyone realizes. So what happens when the man who should have died before he was born turns out to be the only one who can put the gods on trial?

“You're not a nobody,” Victor Moon said, his silver eyes unreadable. “You're the man gods once feared.” Banished from divine memory and stripped of celestial might, Marcus Steele walks among mortals in plain clothes and quiet patience. Bound by an ancient marriage contract, he arrives in Manhattan—a city of supernatural elites—to claim his betrothed. But Diana Sterling, the ice-cold CEO of Sterling Industries, publicly humiliates him, mocking his appearance, status, and power. She doesn’t know who she’s mocking. None of them do. “Take your money,” Diana sneers, hurling a check worth millions. “We're not equals. You don’t belong in my world.” She’s wrong. When shadow demons strike, Marcus reveals a glimpse of the war god he once was—effortlessly annihilating threats, catching the attention of Sarah Moon, heiress to the most feared family in the supernatural underworld. “Marcus,” Sarah whispers, fierce and elegant, “I want you to be my partner.” As Manhattan’s elites scramble to earn his favor, old enemies emerge from the shadows, desperate to keep Marcus from reclaiming his throne. But with each battle, his power returns—and so do his memories. “Tell your master,” Marcus says, standing over broken assassins, “that some wars aren’t worth starting.” They wanted a pawn. They mocked a drifter. They awoke a god. Now, Marcus Steele is done pretending.

In the city of New Avalon, where a fascia of riches hides dishonesty and backstabbing, a rebellious group of thieves sets their sights on the impenetrable vault of wealthy Victor Crane. It's said to hold a vast treasure of valuable gems. The team is headed by Jax "The Ghost" Malone, a likeable former criminal with a talent for pulling off unbelievable robberies. His crew consists of: Lena Voss, a technological whiz; Marcus "Bear" Tate, a powerful strongman; and Evie Quinn, a deceptive swindler. They come up with a bold scheme: to put a tiny camera on Crane's jacket to discover the vault's secrets, copy his fingerprint, and imitate the voice of his business partner, Sophia Laurent. As they get closer to Crane, visiting places like his expensive dry cleaners and personal gym, the team learns that the vault has a two-part security system. It needs Crane's fingerprint and Sophia's voice at the same time. But things aren't as straightforward as they seem. Lena's developing feelings for Jax begin to distract her, while Evie's impulsive flirting and Marcus's troubled history cause problems within the group. Then there's Dorian Black, a competing thief whose frustrating success and arrogant attitude make him a despised but dangerous enemy. As the robbery progresses, acts of disloyalty, passionate moments, and thrilling pursuits push the team to their limits. With time running out and Crane's security getting tighter, the crew must navigate relationships, devotion, and deceit to complete the heist—or risk losing everything in the resulting turmoil.

“You don't deserve this throne. Your birth was nothing more than a mistake by my late husband, so don't think any more of yourself. But if you still want to be King, then go into the territories and kingdoms outside Griffindale and build your army of followers and allies from scratch. Whenever you feel like you have amassed a huge following enough to seize the throne away from me, then you can come back to fight for it. But from now on, you are on exile.” “The throne belongs to me, Stepmother. Nevertheless, I will do as you ask. But rest assured, for what you've done, I will return—not just for my throne, but also for your head.” “While the Queen fumed with rage in her private chamber, Cyrus emerged from her quarters wearing a satisfied grin, knowing his destiny was now set in stone. He would one day become king, no matter what.” -------- This is my first novel on the platform, so my pacing and world-building aren't the best, but it gets better with time. The story is set in a medieval world, somewhere in an alternate version of ancient Europe. At first the tone focuses more on war and basic politics, but as the story progresses, there will be more magic/fantasy elements added - like dragons, witches and fables. If you enjoy the work, please consider supporting it in any way you can. Any means of support goes a long way for me and is duly appreciated. Have Fun!!!
