In a distant future where humanity has colonized distant planets, Velora is a world on the edge of both progress and decay. Among the barren deserts and towering, high-tech cities, four teen boys find themselves caught in a cosmic mystery. Kade, a brooding loner with a criminal past; Jett, a tech genius hiding a crippling fear of failure; Orin, a psychic dreamer who can’t control his visions; and Zane, a soldier’s son haunted by a family tragedy, are each drawn together by a mysterious alien artifact that crashes on their planet. The artifact isn’t just a piece of foreign technology—it’s a doorway to a massive, glowing rift in the sky. This tear in reality leads to otherworldly dimensions, each more dangerous and bizarre than the last. As the boys unlock the secrets of the rift, they begin to realize that its power may hold the key to their survival—or the destruction of their entire galaxy. As they journey across shattered worlds and uncover hidden factions vying for control of the rift, the boys must confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets. The rift warps time, space, and even their own abilities, pushing them to the brink as they battle alien creatures, ancient magic, and rival forces who will stop at nothing to control the power within. With the fate of their world hanging in the balance, Kade, Jett, Orin, and Zane must decide whether they can trust each other—or whether they’re just pawns in a much larger

They thought he was dead. They buried the truth with his name. But legends don’t die—they go dark. Darius Raines, code-named “Ghost,” was the government’s best weapon—an elite hacker and black-ops operative until the day he vanished in a fiery car explosion. Officially pronounced dead, Darius walked away from the lies, burned everything that tethered him to the system, and became a shadow in a city drowning in corruption. Five years later, Atlanta is a battleground. Billion-dollar empires are built on secrets, bodies disappear with no questions asked, and the same corrupt officials who tried to kill Darius now run the city from behind closed doors. But Ghost is back. And he’s not here for mercy. With a custom-built AI surveillance system and a hidden network of rogue insiders, Darius launches an all-out war against the syndicate that turned his life into a lie. His mission? Expose the Ghost Code—a black-file project that links murder, money laundering, and mind control to the highest levels of government. The catch? The only person who can help him unlock it is Amira Cole—the one woman who once believed in him and now believes he’s a traitor. Hunted by law enforcement, betrayed by his own team, and forced into a deadly cat-and-mouse game with the most dangerous man in America, Darius must choose: Save the city or save his soul. The Ghost Code is an urban mystery thriller that will grip your throat and refuse to let go. Full of brutal twists, high-tech warfare, street justice, psychological warfare, and a heart-wrenching romance, this is not just a fight for redemption—it’s a war for the truth. And in Darius’s world, the truth is never free.
