Thank you for taking the time to step into this world I’ve created. This story is a reflection of the constant battles we face, both with the forces that threaten us from the outside and the darkness that lingers within. It’s about power—what it takes to wield it, the price it demands, and how it can shape and break us. It’s also about the bonds we form, the trust we give, and the complicated, often painful relationships that can arise when survival is the ultimate goal.

While this story is filled with intense action, danger, and heart-pounding moments, it’s also about the human side of things—the choices that define us, the emotions that complicate us, and the paths we choose to walk when everything is on the line.

I hope you enjoy the journey, and more importantly, that you find yourself questioning, as Zane does, what it truly means to be strong, to survive, and to belong.

Thank you for reading, and welcome to the chaos.
