Matthew thought he could escape his past, one filled with constant war, where his powers made him attractive to a crooked regime. They'd forced him to enlist, used him to fight their enemies, and the only way to separate himself from those blood-soaked hands was to wash it all away. His name, his people, his soul, all born anew far away from the corruption and death. In those few moments, he breathed easy, yet as he closed his eyes at night, flames flashed before his eyes, reminding him of what he'd hidden away. Nightmares turn into reality as a shadow from his past stalks him beyond sight, framing him for the murder of officials who sat at the feet of the party who rules his warring peoples. Now Matthew must run with his family or face a trial certain to result in their deaths. Danger licks at his heels as tensions rise within his homeland, the government forcing segregation of those with powers and those without. If he hides and does nothing, the world around him will fall to chaos, but is fighting to save his people worth the price? Will tainting his hands in blood once more take all that is left of him? Will that blood make the difference? Or will it force more into a world of suffering. Future cover will be created by @CrimsonShadowMask

All that, however, might have to wait as an unseen enemy threatens to destroy everything the two behemoths have built. A war looms on the horizon, and prior to dealing with domestic matters, one must weed out the pests. Alliances need making, blood needs spilling, and heands need rolling.

Rewrite Note: [At present I am rewriting the book with a planned release of the redone chapters starting in July! Originally thought I'd just clean up the chapters but decided instead to change up the story lines and make things better connect to book 2] So major plot changes will occur to what was read in draft 1 originally posted last year! A new opportunity to live his "best" life. At least, that's how Vincent was sold on the idea. Thing is, the condo's sort of haunted... by the ghost of a brutal killer known as the Hammer Man. For most, this would be a deal breaker. Well, not for Vincent. He's four years into his "career" and lives for hunts like this. It's a simple enough job: Go in, find the ghost, make it pay for the crimes it committed decades ago and deliver damnation in the way he knows best, punishment based around the target's sins. Will this job just be an easy, open, close case or will this hunt start him down the path of unraveling crimes of decades past, all while meddling in the affairs of the creatures around his new home?
