Every scar tells a story, and every story shapes the man who will save-or end-the world.
Michael's childhood wasn't a tale of innocence-it was a series of battles no child should ever have to fight. From broken glass underfoot in a volatile home to hollow stares in empty rooms, his young life was defined by moments of fear, loss, and defiance. At the heart of it all is Michael: a boy torn between love for the father who fought for him and resentment for a world that kept pulling him down. Each chapter unravels the dark, formative years that hardened his spirit, revealing the boy behind the scars, the anger behind his silence, and the grit behind his survival.
More than just tragedy, Michael's story is a testament to resilience. Readers will feel the heat of his anger, the sting of his betrayals, and the flicker of hope that refuses to die-because sometimes the most broken children grow up to become the most powerful heroes.
Before Michael could save the world, he had to survive his own.

The Blood Crown
Love was never meant to be kind. It was war-brutal, unrelenting, and impossible to escape. Ermin never believed in love. Not after watching it destroy her mother, not after learning that trust was a weakness in a world that only took and never gave. But when she saves a wounded stranger, she doesn't realize she has just sealed her fate. He is dangerous, powerful, and bound to a past that drips with blood. And yet, no matter how much she tries to push him away, he keeps coming back. "Even if you hate me, you'll never be rid of me, Ermin." "I would rather die than belong to you!" "Then prepare to die a thousand times over because, I will never let you go." Their love is not gentle-it is possessive, reckless, and built on the ruins of everything they once knew. But in a world where power is everything and betrayal is inevitable, will they fight for each other-or become each other's downfall?

Anything else in between was just to receive the small gesture of a smile from everyone he met. And so that childhood came and went at the mercy of others. As he grew older so did the thin tightrope he traversed to balance his growing unhealthy desires. With his easy high school years coming to a close his life slowly unravels without him realizing.
