Ten years ago, Alex ran away from his cutthroat bloodline to be a good, normal man. His goodness earned him a grave. Alex Carter died in the ashes of a burning warehouse—or so his treacherous wife, Lisa, and his backstabbing best friend, Marcus, believed. Pinned beneath a burning beam, Alex watched the woman he loved turn her back and walk away, leaving him to burn so she could steal his company and his life. What Lisa didn’t know was that the humble, hardworking husband she betrayed was hiding a terrifying secret. He is Alexander Sterling, the runaway heir to the Sterling Consortium—a shadow economy worth quintillions that secretly controls the world's banks, governments, and armies. Now, pulled from the wreckage by his ruthless billionaire grandfather, Alex has spent six months forging his broken body into a weapon. Armed with the black Sterling Apex Card—a legendary artifact granting absolute, untrackable global power—he returns to the city that forgot him. Lisa and Marcus think they’ve won the world. But at their multi-million-dollar victory gala, the doors are about to lock. The music is about to stop. And the man they murdered is about to walk in and buy their entire existence in ten seconds.

What if I told you that they were right? That Bigfoot, The Abominable Snowman, The Loch Ness monster and yes, even The Boogey man were actually real? What if I told you your parents were right when they told you that there are monsters and demons that lurked in the shadows at night? I have seen those monsters, through visions of prophecy and none have baffled me more than The Marauder and The Supremes. Beings even Science could not explain, creatures that held godlike power for so long and walked among us as both oppressors and at times, as saviors. This is one such prophecy I had that I had to put on paper. Call it a story if you wish (it would actually make me feel less crazy). But this is the story of Brendan Payne; the sixteen year old high school boy who went from a regular teenager to finding out that he was not human but instead was born into a race of beings that were believed to be the final and perfect stage of evolution. And by finding out his destiny, Brendan is torn between fighting for the humans who resented him and joining forces with the callous yet beautiful witch, Finch, who claims to have his best interests at heart. This...is The Legend Of Marauder

Osric Thorne was the discarded heir of the Thorne shipping empire, a man who thought he had everything until his wife, Elowen Vane, and his best friend, Cuthbert, threw him off the Gilded Sovereign in the middle of a Category 5 storm. With his feet chained to an anchor and the scent of Elowen's expensive perfume lingering in the salt air, Osric was meant to be a forgotten feast for the scavengers of the abyss. Instead, his family’s "worthless" heirloom—the Abyssal Pearl—reacts to his dying rage. Fusing with his heart, the pearl awakens the [Leviathan Evolution System]. In the crushing, lightless depths of the Atlantic, Osric doesn't drown...he adapts. By consuming the apex predators of the sea, he gains their power: the obsidian armor of the great white, the bio-electric discharge of the deep-sea eel, and the terrifying sonar of the prehistoric leviathan. Now, a monster is rising from the depths. Osric Thorne isn't coming back just to reclaim his company; he’s coming back to dismantle the Vane legacy piece by piece and turn the surface world into his personal hunting ground. He was once a man of the boardrooms, but he has returned as the Warden-King of the Abyss. The elites of Oakhaven are about to learn a bitter truth: the ocean doesn't forgive, and neither does Osric Thorne.

Will he find a way to forgive, to protect what matters, and finally claim the life and love he’s always deserved?
