Derieri Seven Deadly Sins

Kaizen Morvane survived the Great War, but at a cost. His blood is no longer human. Hunted by the very empire he served, he is forced into a deadly alliance with Commander Liora Sembara. As they peel back the layers of a demonic conspiracy reaching the highest levels of government, Kaizen must battle the literal monster within. Will he save the city, or will he become the very thing he was trained to kill?

(Knowledge of the setting not required!) Set in the world of Vampire: The Requiem. Dolareido. A city of dark alleys, dirty contracts, and deadly predators. Predators in business suits and stiletto heels. Jack, just a young man and barely an adult, finds himself on death's door. Before he knows what's happening, he's pulled into the world of vampires, the Danse Macabre, and the Masquerade.

He was the architect who built their empire, and the fool they buried alive. Seven years in hell forged Alexander Harrington into The Phantom, a masked kingpin who owns D.C.’s darkest corridors. Now he’s back for the wife they shattered, Tatiana Everly, and the daughter they starved, Mira. The Whitakers framed him, stole his patents, and erased his name. Big mistake. Tonight, every lie becomes a coffin nail. For every tear Tatiana cried, a dynasty falls. For every night Mira went hungry, a traitor begs. Mercy? That word died with the man they killed. Beneath the ashes, he rose. And Washington will burn.

“For seven years, I believed you loved me.” “I only needed you to refine a core worth stealing.” Chris endured poverty and humiliation for one dream: entering Cultis Academy with Rachel, the only woman he considered family. But the moment he refines a perfect core, Rachel seals his power and helps Diego tear it from his chest. Left to die inside a frozen cave, Chris hears something gasping from within a dead cultivator’s bones—a cracked black core calling to him. When it enters his body, Chris awakens with the ability to see the hidden flaws in every cultivator’s energy.

Kidnapped at five, Ethan Smith returns fifteen years later to the seven sisters who never stopped searching for him—wearing shabby clothes and asking for a job. They welcome him home, determined to protect their little brother, unaware that he commands an army and a fortune powerful enough to bring their city's elite to their knees. But the men behind his abduction are still in business. When their next attack leaves one of his sisters fighting for her life, Ethan gives them ten days to confess and beg for her forgiveness. Let them call in every favor. He wants their masters to come forward, too.

The cover read: The 800 Methods. “Oh, I couldn’t.” “This has eight hundred deadly moves,” Marvin said. “It’s the most comprehensive monograph on the subject. Most of the strikes kill with one blow, once you master them. I’ve dog-eared some of my favorites. It’s actually padded with a few techniques that are hard to use outside laboratory conditions. But they’re still good to know.”

Seven years ago, a blue screen appeared before every human on Earth and promised a new beginning. Within a day, millions were dead. Now everyone has a System: a level, a rank, a worth measured in numbers. Everyone except Kael Draven. No level. No skills. No place in a world that treats the powerless as disposable. He has survived seven years in the ruins of New York by noticing what others miss, and he is still searching for the little sister who vanished the night his parents died. Then his team abandons him inside a dungeon that was never supposed to wake up. Kael studies the monster hunting him, finds the one thing it fears, and lives. And as it falls, the System flashes a message it was never meant to show: [WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW SUBJECT TO ACCESS THE CORE.] Why would the most powerful force on Earth be afraid of a man it cannot even see? Before he can find out, he touches a black relic older than the System itself, and every awakened user for miles loses their powers for three terrifying seconds. By morning, he is the most wanted man in Ironhaven. But Kael is done being the hunted. With a disgraced commander, a runaway scientist, and a loyal giant who owes him his life, he starts pulling at a conspiracy buried in the night his family was murdered. Every lie he exposes makes him more dangerous. Every rule he breaks makes the System more afraid. Everyone else grows stronger by obeying the System. Kael grows stronger by finding where it breaks. It named him humanity's greatest threat. It has no idea what it just created.

Forced into a deadly survival game, he wakes aboard a rusted train as the only man among twenty-three women. Every stop means scavenging through monster-infested ruins, and a lethal freeze is only a month away. But with a secret system that duplicates supplies without limit, he has bigger plans than merely staying alive. He’s taking them through the apocalypse in first class.

In the glittering canals of Amsterdam, Lukas Brandt thought he’d lost everything—divorced, humiliated, and branded a “stain” by his ex-wife, tech mogul Elise Van der Meer. But when a deadly toxin puts a tycoon’s life at risk, his rare herbalist skills make him the most sought-after man in the world. Will his healing art save lives—or ignite a war?
