They called him bloodless They mocked him, beat him, finally betrayed him framing an innocent orphan and hurling him into the Ashen wastes to die a slow forgotten death. But the moment Elias Voss's blood touches a forbidden crimson altar, the empire's greatest nightmare awakens. Deep within his veins roars the primordial war God bloodline an extinct legacy of apocalyptic conquerors the gods themselves erased from history in terror. Crimson fury floods his body. Broken bones mend in seconds. A single punch shatters mana beasts that devour armies. Ancient battlefields flash before his eyes, whispering unstoppable tactics no mortals should know. Now the boy they discarded is coming back. With the sarcastic ghost general at his side, a sharp-togued swordswoman who swears she does not need him, and an unshakeable will forged in betrayal, Elias will climb from exile to overlord. Every arrogant noble who laughed at him will kneel. Every clan that turned away will regret. In floating war academies and blood-drenched arenas, a legend rises one swing, one conquest, one shattered enemy at a time. The War God is awake. And the empire will tremble.

As threats close in from palace shadows and Manhattan flashbulbs, I must protect my child, my heart, and my hard-won world. But what if the greatest danger is the truth Ive hidden... and the man who might claim it all?

Addictive.Marrying Lorenzo De Luca was never part of my plan. Cold, powerful, dangerously controlled he wanted a wife he could own. I became the perfect pawn in his revenge game.But behind his icy eyes lies fire. And when that fire touches me, I forget to hate him. I forget everything except the way his mouth finds mine like a challenge the way his hands make promises his heart refusest to keep.They say love and hate live side by side. I didn’t believe that until I woke up tangled in his sheets, craving the man I was supposed to destroy.Now I’m wearing his ring. Living in his world. And falling fast into something I can’t escape.This isn’t a love story. This is obsession wrapped in silk and secrets. And it might just ruin us
