“I buried you,” the traitor whispered. “Then dig deeper,” Kaelen replied, voice like sand on steel, “because I’m not done rising.” Zaria stood behind him, the wind pulling strands of her hair like fire-dancers in the dusk. “Let them come,” she said. “We burn hotter together.” The masked woman landed beside them, blades humming with heat. “You still don’t get it,” Kaelen muttered, watching the desert pulse like a living thing. “Get what?” “This isn’t a fight for gold.” “Then what is it?” Kaelen smirked, cracked lips bloodied. “It’s the reckoning.” Kaelen was left for dead in the scorching sands of Sutekh; stripped of his name, his wife, and the child he never met. But the desert doesn’t forget. It carves vengeance into bone. Now, Kaelen rises from the ruins of betrayal as something more than a man: marked by ancient fire, hunted by his half-brother, and haunted by what he can’t remember. As he claws his way back through a kingdom built on secrets, one thing drives him: Zaria. His wife. Missing, maybe dead; or worse, weaponized by those who want to claim a legacy soaked in blood. But Zaria is no victim. Imprisoned and pregnant, she holds the key to an empire long thought dead. And when her twin sister emerges from the shadows to seize that power for herself, love becomes war — and the price of legacy is life itself. In a world where loyalty is a lie and prophecy demands sacrifice, Kaelen must decide: will he reclaim what was stolen; or burn it all to the ground? OF FLAME, SAND, AND GOLD is an epic fantasy of fire-forged vengeance, unbroken love, and the rebirth of a forgotten kingdom.

Ten years ago, John Hardwick was the golden boy of the nation. The youngest billionaire in history. The face of every magazine. The pride of the powerful Hardwick dynasty; worth trillions. He was rich, brilliant, devastatingly handsome, and born to inherit an empire. But then… he made one mistake. A scandal so massive it rocked the country. His grandfather; the terrifying patriarch of the Hardwick family, was furious. Disgraced, John vanished overnight. His name was wiped clean from the internet. No news, no photos, no trace. As if he never existed. People said he was dead. Some whispered he ran away. But soon, the world forgot him entirely. What no one knew was that he didn’t disappear… he was exiled. His grandfather didn’t just cut him off—he threw him into the harshest military unit in the world. No mercy. No privileges. Just blood, fire, and war. For ten brutal years, John was forged like steel in the furnace of hell. He rose through the ranks, unstoppable. Fearless. Lethal. Eventually, he earned a title that sent shivers through the enemy ranks: GOD OF WAR. Now, he’s back. Not as a spoiled billionaire—but as a weapon. A king in exile returned. And this time, he’s taking back everything that was his. The name. The throne. The trillion-dollar empire. And anyone who stands in his way… will fall.

In his wife's opinion, John was a piece of garbage. A piece of tissue paper was thought to be his priceless gift to his wife. Nobody knew he was General Carlos's son by another woman. The Carlos family never anticipated his arrival. What will transpire, however, if he is chosen to succeed the General as a New General of the City?
