Shadow And Bone

‎📖 A Soldier’s Creed – Back-Cover Blurb ‎ ‎In the unforgiving deserts of Afghanistan, survival is never promised. ‎ ‎Elite commando Lt. Michael Rockefeller is chosen for a mission so dangerous it’s been called a death sentence: infiltrate Taliban strongholds, assassinate their most feared leader, and rescue captured CIA agents before their execution is broadcast to the world. ‎ ‎Armed with nothing but his training, his squad, and the unshakable creed he has lived by—never abandon the mission, never abandon a brother—Michael steps into enemy territory where every shadow hides a rifle, and every whisper carries betrayal. ‎ ‎But when a trusted ally turns traitor, Michael is captured and thrown into the Taliban’s underground dungeon. Tortured, hunted, and facing death not once, but twice, he must fight his way back from the edge of oblivion. ‎ ‎Now, with time running out and his creed tested to the breaking point, one question remains: ‎Will he complete the mission—or will the mission consume him? ‎ ‎A raw, relentless tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and survival, A Soldier’s Creed grips you from the first page to the last shot fired.

‎The shadow king would rule despite his solar lineage. Raised among the wolves at the High Kingdom's royal court, the son of a deposed god and exiled goddess was Kaelen, a perfect, divinely perfect archer, a god of hunters, a holy and perfect weapon of war. He masked his monstrous, divine talents from his mortal, warring brothers to avoid their hatred; however, a god could not forever be hidden away. ‎ ‎Abandoned with nothing but a bow and bloodline to the fragmented wilderness of the Outer Marches, Kaelen was destined to be more than just a conqueror; he was to become a king of them. With Vanya, a calculating and brilliant queen-merchant of steel and greed, Kaelen forged an iron alliance and began building a kingdom of outcasts from the discarded, broken remnants of society. Aethelgard would become his new, divine High Kingdom, but when the forces that yearned to annihilate him rose to attack, Kaelen would face his destiny: was he truly a God of War? When all is said and done, Kaelen lost himself in his struggle for his throne and found out the seat of power was a chilling, lonely thing to sit in. ‎

They used to call me a nobody at Walter’s Regal...a nerdy, expendable novice architect buried in the basement, scrubbing the footprints of London’s elite off plans they stole from me. Then, I found the anomaly. Buried deep within ancient Crown property registries and centuries-old blueprints was a loophole so massive, it could bring the entire London skyline to its knees. I didn’t just find a flaw in the system; I bought it. With a few obscure land titles secured for pennies, I quietly took ownership of the very ground beneath their multi-million-pound mega-structures. Overnight, the tables turned. Money became my sharpest weapon, and capital my ultimate leverage. Now, those same billionaires who sneered at me are begging for my mercy as I systematically freeze their assets, bankrupt my former oppressors, and construct an untouchable empire of my own. I am Jayson Velasco. I went from the weakest link in the corporate machine to the most feared, filthy-rich tycoon in Europe. Look up at the London skyline. Every tower, every shadow, every brick belongs to me now. If you want to build in my city, you bow to my blueprint.

Akin Samuels is a globally acclaimed genius(although being sick of getting the fact reminded to him on a regular basis) in a world where the already existing technology is jaw dropping. But in such a world, the natural assumption would be that nothing could ever possibly go wrong, wouldn't it? Unfortunately for Samuels and everyone else in this world of his, SOMETHING does indeed go wrong, with that being a deadly new virus seems to have popped out of nowhere and claims the lives of billions of people, dropping the total world population to a number which is a shadow of what it should have been. Having something of a rebellious spirit, Samuels immediately doesn't believe in this piece of public knowledge to be true because the virus in itself is one shrouded by mystery and secrecy. So now, since the government has failed to do it's job, Samuels takes it upon himself to discover the truth using only his wits, brain and last in the list of things he possesses, a time machine. However, in doing so he is thrown and also forces those he care about into secrets of the world which were meant to never have been spoken of by certain people and is left to bare the consequences of his actions. What could this mean for the future and past of Samuels and those around him?
