His name is Desmond Pierce. He's your cliché billionaire playboy who flaunts his wealth, enjoys a good party, and indulges in only the best of drinks. But ever since the life-changing deaths of his parents, the brash billionaire has had to cope with everyday panic attacks and stress. He drives everyone closest to him away, and he locks himself atop his multi-billion dollar fortress: Platinum Tower. However, when the evil terrorist organization known as the Black Dragon kidnaps him and destroys his home, it's up to him to pull his act together. He and fellow captive Olivia Jones must fight for their lives, even after surviving brutal experimentation and torture. Not only must Pierce kill to survive, but he must also find reconciliation with his traumatic past...and his own failures. This is the first story in a continuing series called: The Age of Heroes
