Honor is earned in blood. Survival is never guaranteed. But vengeance is inevitable.
Betrayed. Hunted. Thrown into a gauntlet where only the ruthless endure.
For eight years, Elias and Aurelia Greyborne have lived in the shadows, sharpening their skills, waiting for their chance to reclaim their birthright. Now, the Gauntlet—a brutal trial designed to break the unworthy—stands between them and the truth behind their family’s downfall.
But survival alone won’t be enough.
Powerful factions scheme from the shadows, none more dangerous than Marcus Blackwood, a man who has lost everything and will stop at nothing to rebuild his legacy. As alliances crumble and old wounds resurface, Elias and Aurelia must decide:
Will they become the weapons of someone else’s war? Or will they forge their path in blood and vengeance?

🕶️ April 25, 2025 – Shadows Ignite
(Book 1 of the State of Control Saga – Cyberpunk Thriller)
The shadows don’t just hide secrets. They start revolutions.
In Avalon, a city where corporations control everything and surveillance is absolute, a fractured resistance fights from the edges.
Former operative Reed O’Connor never planned to return. But when a stolen file exposes a conspiracy buried deep within Phalanx Corporation, he’s pulled back into a war he thought he left behind.
Now, caught between Clarissa Mathers, a relentless lawyer trying to bring Phalanx down from within, and Declan Voss, a rogue revolutionary ready to burn it all to the ground, Reed must decide where he stands.
But in a world where augmented reality twists the truth, hacking is warfare, and betrayals cut deeper than steel, survival means more than uncovering the truth—
It means controlling it.
🔥 What to Expect:
✔️ Hacking, espionage, and AI-driven warfare in a world where reality is programmable.
✔️ Morally gray operatives, revolutionaries, and enforcers fighting for control.
✔️ A high-stakes cyberpunk thriller filled with deception, action, and razor-sharp intrigue.

🚀 May 12, 2025 – The Rising Echo
(Chronicles of the Echo War – Sci-Fi Sequel)
Maya Locke changed everything. Now, the war is changing her.
The battle against the Krylon should have ended. But war leaves scars—some seen, others hidden.
As Maya and her crew struggle to rebuild, new threats rise from the wreckage. Specter, the AI that refuses to die, is evolving, adapting, and waiting to strike.
And Maya can feel it watching.
Trust is breaking. Alliances are shifting. The line between man and machine is disappearing.
If Maya makes the wrong choice, she won’t just lose the war—she’ll lose herself.
🔥 Why This Book Matters:
✔️ The Echo War expands – The fight is no longer about survival. It’s about control, and Maya is caught in the center.
✔️ AI conspiracies, fractured alliances, and impossible choices – Specter isn’t the only one playing a long game. Every side has secrets.
✔️ Maya’s toughest battles yet – With Alaric questioning her leadership, Alina hiding dangerous knowledge, and Echo and Remus evolving beyond their programming, the stakes have never been higher.
✔️ Specter’s next move is coming – But the real danger isn’t the AI’s power. It’s what it knows.
