From Catatrophe To Crown

The world is broken. Realms that were never meant to touch now bleed into one another, warping the land and twisting its survivors into something unrecognizable. Wars raged, gods fell, and the skies rained fire—but the true devastation came from what crept through the cracks. Beings of unfathomable hunger, remnants of dying realms, now stalk the ruins, each vying to claim this world as their own. Kael remembers the night the boundaries shattered. A meteor annihilated his town, but it was no mere rock—it was a herald of the convergence. Five years a slave, he wakes from nightmares of a black-crowned god and a child fed on divine blood, only to be "freed" by a masked stranger who calls him "disappointing" before vanishing. As they travel, they uncover fragments of the truth: the realms’ overlap was no accident. Someone—or something—orchestrated it, and the key to severing the convergence lies in the very ritual that haunts Kael’s dreams. But with every step, the boundaries weaken. In this world of crumbling sanity and predatory gods, Kael must decide: Will he fight to reclaim what’s left of his home, or embrace the power of the Hollow Dominion—and risk becoming the very thing he fears?

The Valenciari Family, feared as "The Silver Serpents," controls the shadows of Eredia, shaping both the underworld and high society.

But strength alone is not enough. In a world ruled by ancient bloodlines, betrayals, and unseen wars, Lucian must outplay rivals, silence enemies, and carve his own throne in a world where the weak are devoured. Because the Valenciari do not beg. They do not bow. They collect their debts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey there, dear reader! So, let me tell you—I’ve been working on this story for over a year. That’s 365+ days of writing, rewriting, questioning my life choices, drinking way too much coffee, and staring at my screen like a mafia boss plotting world domination. Every single chapter has been edited, re-edited, and then edited again (because apparently, I enjoy suffering). But why? Because I love this world. I wanted to create something that feels alive—a world where power isn’t just about brute strength but about strategy, deception, and knowing exactly when to strike. And of course, a main character who’s not just strong but calculating, charismatic, and a little terrifying. So, if you’re here for mafia intrigue, deadly power struggles, and a protagonist who always plays the long game, you’re in the right place. Buckle up, because the Silver Serpent always collects his debts—and this story is just getting started. Enjoy, and thanks for reading! —Aaron_Arkwright
