“Don’t complain when the lights go out…” These were the words that came out of his mouth before he calmly exited the office.

He had chosen a quiet life to stay with his wife; for three years, he played instructor at the clinic. But now, he is back, and with his resurfacing, the underworld is shaking— threats are awakening, new enemies and allies are being born. Will Silas continue to rule over his Empire of Ash and Gold?

A man known only as Cassian Vale, a former government ghost and criminal genius, surrenders to authorities after a decade in the shadows.

Each name he provides unlocks a new case—a corrupt billionaire, a hidden assassin, a double agent—and Ayla is pulled deeper into a world of deception, danger, and secrets that threaten everything she thought she knew. But is Cassian helping… or playing a longer, darker game?

He will return to the world that once praised him, not for fame or wealth, but for a vengeance that will make Clara and Mason regret they ever underestimated a father’s love.

David Sawyer, a normal office worker woke up suddenly to an unfamiliar world. The Apocalypse was here, and with it, a shocking realization of truth hidden just under his nose all this time. Fighting with the weight of betrayal, Dave casts aside his feelings to protect the lives of those he loves. Will his newfound apathy lead the way to survival and regrowth? Can a mask hide away the pain of love lost? DISCLAIMER: This is NOT an apocalypse story. The story explores adaptation and survival under rapidly changing world conditions. MC is not some chosen one or freek genius, he's lucky and intelligent, not a fool. Romance is a little heavy but not the main theme. Survival, human duality, conflict, and the very nature of the world itself are the book's focus. Every character has depth, and nothing is truly meaningless. Pay attention and see if you can pick up that deeply hidden foreshadowing.
