Shadow Slave

When betrayal forced Elias Voss into a quiet life, keeping his identity as the legendary doctor away from the world, and settling down with Amara Blake, an ambitious physician, quietly pulling her hands up to the top of her career, solving medical problems in secret, and even protecting her from the consequences of her mistakes. But the moment Amara felt she was bigger than his dream, deciding she didn't want to settle for a man without dream, she filed a divorce wanting the marriage quit. "I can't continue with this marriage, Elias," Her tone was ice. "We're not compatible anymore." Elias was heartbroken, but she'd made her choice, so he's not going to stay where he's not wanted. Elias signed the divorce paper and walked away, quitting every help for her, and when everything began to fall apart around her, Amara knew something badly off. When Elias finally stepped out from the shadow, she knew the man she divorced wasn't ordinary.

‎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. ‎

Five years ago, Adrian Cole was the most feared commander alive — a living legend who led his country through a war no one knew existed. Then he vanished. Declared dead. Forgotten. He returned as a nobody. His father is dead. His mother is sick. His family's company has been stolen by the powerful Blackwood Corporation, and the people who destroyed them don't even remember his name. That's their first mistake. Behind the quiet, unassuming man is a network of loyal soldiers, world leaders, and shadow powers who still answer to one command. Adrian doesn't need to shout. He doesn't need to threaten. He makes one phone call — and empires fall. But he's not here for revenge. He's here for justice. And he'll tear down every billionaire, every corrupt official, and every hidden enemy who stands between him and his family's peace. The Blackwoods think they destroyed a family. They woke a god. One man. One war. No mercy.

In a world where the fabric of reality is held together by delicate threads only the most skilled Weavers can see, Rowan is a rogue element. His job is to mend what the unwary might rip apart and spill into the hungry Void, and he does it illegally, using iron pliers and copper thread. But now Rowan is bleeding gold from his Weaver’s marks, and it seems that the ancient Anchor that keeps the universe from being swallowed by the Void is being cut. Lord Sterling, the aloof, if willing, partner of his latest job, informs him that lately there have been disappearances – not just deaths, but erasures, as if the mended never existed. And so Rowan traces the black-market Void merchandise to the very heart of the Court of Mirrors, aided by a thief who walks her reflections’ paths. There, in the labyrinth of light and shadow, he uncovers a plot by the Unravelers to sever the last remaining threads and usher in the rebirth of the new reality. But the final truth is that the last Anchor is Rowan’s blood, and Sterling’s blade is poised to cut it away. Does Rowan sacrifice himself to save the world or let the Void consume it?

But as each trumpet awakens, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. And with his powers growing and his past life crumbling, Myles must decide— Is he the world’s last defense? Or its doom incarnate?
