In 27 Days

After four years of marriage, Maureen Winston still viewed her husband, Derek Romano, as nothing more than a worthless substitute, a pathetic replacement for her first and only true love, Nicole Calloway. Despite Derek’s unwavering love, endless devotion, and quiet sacrifices, he could never measure up in her eyes. All his efforts were meaningless the moment Nicole returned. What Maureen didn’t know was that Derek was the invisible force protecting her entire family. No one dared touch her father’s crumbling company because of the fear and respect Derek commanded in the shadows. A few days after Maureen filed for divorce, she discovered she was pregnant with Derek’s child. Nicole’s return was anything but innocent. Armed with charm and calculated generosity, he framed Derek with vicious lies and scandals. Blinded by her lingering feelings for her ex, Maureen chose to believe Nicole over the man who had stood by her through every hardship. But Derek was never ordinary. He was the hidden son of a legendary Supreme Warrior. When deadly enemies rose against his father, Derek was forced into hiding and stripped of his identity. Now, with Nicole’s true sinister motives beginning to surface, Derek decides it’s time to stop hiding. As his supreme power awakens and his real identity is revealed, shocking truths come to light, including the fact that Maureen’s own father was behind the death of Derek’s mother. What happens when Maureen and her family finally discover that the man they looked down on, humiliated, and tried to cast away was actually a supreme existence far beyond their imagination? Will Maureen regret her choices, or is it already too late?

He was buried alive on a Tuesday. Not with soil and a coffin but with debt, betrayal, and the quiet, practiced cruelty of a woman who had spent six years perfecting the art of destroying a man while making him feel grateful for the privilege. Daren Cole woke in the ruins of a collapsed building, the only survivor of a disaster his own company had been contracted to prevent. He had no money. No name. No proof he had ever built anything. His wife had already signed the divorce papers dated three days before the disaster, as though she had known. His business partner had already moved his assets offshore. His in-laws had already changed the locks on the penthouse apartment he had paid for. He had forty-eight hours before the arrest warrant was issued in his name. He used forty-seven of them to become someone they would never recognize. Armed with a recovered hard drive containing evidence that could bring down an entire industry, a dead man's identity that opened doors money alone couldn't, and the muscle memory of a man who had once built empires from nothing Daren doesn't come back for revenge. He comes back for reckoning. His wife is already chasing a richer man. His partner is already spending his money. His city is already celebrating his death. Let them. The question is not whether Daren Cole will reclaim everything they stole. The question is what he will do when the woman who buried him alive comes to him on her knees and he realizes he still knows the exact sound of her laugh.

Under the tyrannical reign of Eternity Corp, time is no longer an abstract concept, it is a physical commodity known as liquefied Time Core that can be bought, stolen, and siphoned directly from the human body via digital timers embedded in the wrist. The city is fractured into two extreme worlds: the Upper District, inhabited by elites possessing boundless immortality, and the squalid Lower District, where the impoverished suffocate in the gutters simply because they ran out of seconds to breathe. Axel is a former Liquidator, the number-one tactical enforcer and crown prince of Eternity Corp, engineered to be the ultimate cybernetic weapon. However, after witnessing his own father, Adrian , callously let his mother perish to preserve corporate profits, Axel chose rebellion. The price for his defection was devastating: Axel was framed by his half-brother, Valen, injected with Chronos Decay, a terminal cyber-virus that systematically ravages his heart, and cast out into the Lower District with a remaining lifespan of merely 29 days. Clinging to life and shrouded in his rigid black tactical frock coat, Axel is salvaged by Rhea, a skilled cyber-mechanic and operator of an emergency logistics clinic in the slums. Cold, ruthless, and efficient, Axel refuses to remain a victim. Instead of crawling back to beg for a lifespan quota, he weaponizes his dwindling days into a literal countdown for a radical, suicidal infiltration mission. The stakes skyrocket when Adrian deploys a wireless Vampire Drain protocol from above, siphoning the lifespans of the Lower District's citizens, including Rhea, to bait Axel out of the shadows. For Axel, this is no longer a battle for survival. This is his final logistical calculation to ensure that the exact moment the digital timer on his wrist strikes absolute zero, his father's tyrannical empire collapses alongside him into ash.

In his last life, the temperature plummeted to minus two hundred degrees Celsius, unleashing a merciless snowpocalypse. Civilization collapsed in a single night. Food became more precious than gold. A single spark of warmth was worth more than a human life. Zane had prepared with everything he had — scavenging ruins, fortifying a shelter, and hoarding supplies to outlast the endless winter. Yet in the end, he died like a fool. The woman he worshipped as a goddess, his own fiancée, betrayed him. The family that took him in only to steal his inheritance turned on him at the first sign of weakness. Even the neighbors he once helped without hesitation joined the frenzy, stripping him of everything and leaving him to freeze alone in the dark. As numbness claimed his body, regret burned hotter than any fire. If only he had listened to that soft, persistent warning voice. If only he had shown kindness to the one person who truly cared. If only he had severed ties with those parasites the moment he learned the truth… Perhaps moved by his dying fury, Hades granted him a second chance. Now, Zane is back — twenty days before the ice age begins. This time, he won’t be kind. He won’t be naive. He will hoard every resource, fortify his shelter into an unbreakable fortress, and turn survival into his empire. He will become the one the cold cannot kill. And when the world freezes again… He will watch his betrayers kneel and beg in the snow. PS: Grab your coat… the ice age is closer than you think. NB: This novel has multiple arcs, free chapters, dark fantasy and contains heavy sci-fi in the first arc. It's my first book on this genre, I hope you love it.
