Deicide: Death's Chosen Assassin
Kael Drayven grew up in the shadows of an orphanage that was anything but ordinary. Trained from a young age to kill with precision and intellect, he became the ultimate weapon-cold, calculating, and deadly. But Kael wasn't content to be a pawn in someone else's game. At just 18, he masterminded the destruction of the very place that shaped him, erasing his past in a blaze of fire and blood. For two years, he roamed free, a ghost in the underworld, his body riddled with scars and his mind sharper than ever. But even the smartest and deadliest aren't invincible. At 20, Kael succumbed to the wounds and exhaustion of a life lived on the edge. Death wasn't the end for him, though. In his final moments, Kael is confronted by a vengeful god who offers him a new purpose: become his chosen assassin and take down the twelve gods who betrayed him. In a new world brimming with magic and divine power, Kael's sharp mind and lethal skills make him the perfect weapon. But can a man who has only known betrayal and bloodshed find meaning in a god's quest for revenge? Or will he simply become another expendable piece in a cosmic game far bigger than himself?

Forged by Maelstrom, the 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐚, Hellenics were shaped as near-perfections of the Primordial Deities-beings of unparalleled might. Over the centuries, their reputation became legend. The men? Killing machines. The women? Torture artists. Some dismiss these claims as myths, arguing that divine lineage alone doesn't create monsters. Time passed. People forgot. The world moved on. Until today. What happens when someone so kind, so easygoing-someone who never lets his anger show-𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐬? Even if it doesn't last long... who knows what damage will be done? Was it trauma? A trigger?

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in.
