For Vicky, life has always been about burying the pain. Known as his family's "bundle of joy," he's spent years hiding his true feelings behind a smile, trying to keep the peace in a family fractured by tension and conflict. But when a long-awaited beach vacation stirs memories he thought he'd buried-of his parents' fights and his older brother Nathan's quiet promises of protection-Vicky finds himself unable to hold back the emotions he's kept locked away.
As he walks alone by the shore, overwhelmed by memories of the past and the bittersweet ache of lost innocence, Vicky is forced to confront the sadness he's hidden for so long. In a moment of vulnerability, he begins to question his own resilience and wonder how he has carried the weight of his family's secrets.

This tender, introspective novel invites readers into the heart of a young man learning that sometimes, to truly embrace happiness, we must first allow ourselves to feel the full weight of sorrow.

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
