Ten years ago, James lost everything—his parents murdered, his life shattered. Left for dead, he clawed his way back to become the Reaper, the undisputed King of the Underworld.

Now he returns to settle the score. But the moment he arrives, a billion-dollar bounty goes live. Every mercenary, assassin on earth wants his head.

Yet James doesn't run. He waits. Because the bounty isn't just a price—it's a clue. Someone wants him dead before he uncovers the truth about who really killed his parents. And the deeper he digs, the more the walls close in.

He was once an elite operative, "Raven." Now he's searching for redemption in a small-town library.

A seven-year-old girl named Amy utters a single word—"Kyle"—and just like that, he can't outrun his past anymore.

A list. A conspiracy. Assassins. Enemies inside the Capitol are closing in from all sides. To protect her, he has to step back into the darkness—but this time, he's not fighting alone.

Someone is waiting for me to come home.

Three hundred mercenaries. Fifty excavators. The Savage family gates? Smashed.

Jaxon is back. Soaked in bloodlust. And he’s here for revenge.

But he didn’t expect this — his daughter has been taken. They want to drain her dry to forge stronger soldiers.

What he really didn’t expect? His own blood is worth far more than hers.

Now underground powers are circling. They want to turn him into a breeding machine. Even untouchable generals want a piece.

They all thought Jaxon was the prey.

Right up until the mercenary army rolled in.

Then they realized… who they really messed with.

Kane was an ex-convict — a nobody. His wife's family treated him like dirt.

They didn't know his secret.

Ten years ago, he was framed. But in prison, he became something else. Today, he is the Mercenary King — commander of millions.

He hides his power to protect his wife and daughter. He plays the loser. He takes the insults.

But when his enemies cross the line…

The Mercenary King will stop pretending.

To New York's most powerful family, Russell is just a useless son-in-law. A drifter. A nobody.

But before he walked into their mansion, he was the assassin who single-handedly destroyed the Caesar Cabal, a shadow empire that ruled Europe for two millennia. They took his family. He took their lives.

Now the last target is dead. But the Cabal's roots reach deeper—into America's elite.

So he enters their world with a new cover: a penniless drifter married to a runaway heiress, walking straight into the lion's den.

They think they're using him.

They're wrong. For him, the assassination starts now.

A decade ago, a shipwreck claimed Nathaniel's entire family—hundreds of innocent lives, including his parents and sister, slaughtered in a mafia drug deal. He was the sole survivor.

To avenge them, he maneuvered step by step, personally engineering the rise of Europe's Mafia Queen Rosalia to the pinnacle of power. On their wedding day, he sprang the trap—a ceremony that stunned all of Europe—and wiped out the major underworld bosses from the Myers family and all other European syndicates.

Those syndicates, however, rallied their remnants and turned their wrath on Nathaniel, hunting him down relentlessly. At the same time, they directed their fury at Rosalia, plotting to overthrow her reign.
