The Chronicles of the Returned: The Book of Telamon

The Chronicles of the Returned: The Book of Telamon A mythic warrior reborn in the shadow of modern war. A city drowning in ancient prophecy. A shield that remembers. Set between the dreamlike decay of Venice and the blood-soaked ruins of the Balkans, The Chronicles of the Returned – The Book of Telamon is a haunting, visionary epic that merges Greek tragedy, military trauma, and ritual horror. Its protagonist — known only as “The Balkan's wolf” — is no ordinary veteran. He is Ajax reborn: once the son of Telamon, now a shell-shocked ex-UN soldier plagued by visions spoken in Mycenaean Greek and dreams of a blood-soaked fig tree. Haunted by the loss of his wife and child, Ajax seeks answers in the underworlds of Europe’s forgotten cities — where human traffickers like the mysterious and elusive Nessuno (Odysseus) reign. Nessuno has become the modern embodiment of the oligarch : a global oligarch who trades in organs, flesh, and lost souls aboard his AI-powered black yacht, Argo. In the ruins of Marghera, whispers rise of a “pure delivery” — a child untouched, immaculate organs to be harvested an dsold to the undernet. A sacrifice. Meanwhile, in the war-ravaged past, Tychios — a former Red Brigades engineer turned Balkan arms dealer — rebuilds the shield of Ajax from a battlefield anti-riot shell. A hybrid artifact of myth and modern warfare, engraved with a winged goddess who neither forgives nor forgets. Every throw of the dice, every fig in the market, every ghost in the therapy circle — leads Ajax closer to the reckoning that has followed him through centuries. In a narrative that evokes the psychological tension of True Detective, the noir textures of The Third Man, and the existential tragedy of the Iliad, this book asks: What happens when the myths we buried return to collect their debt?

Monarch Of Darkness: The Awakening

Rudolff is gone. The gods are scheming. Hades is... probably on an extended vacation. And Christopher is hungry for revenge. But before he can strike back, he must find purpose. Uncover his true meaning and break every seal that holds him back. To survive, he must awaken his bloodline. But awakening comes at a cost—one that could plunge the world into chaos. *** Second Synopsis/ The prophecy of Dawn. After the last Titanomachy, when the skies had burned thrice red, Erebus shall stir from the depths where silence reigns, And in the hollow void, he shall curse the dawn, Regretting that ever gods were born from Chaos' womb. Cloaked in hatred, he shall not rise in form, But shall drift as shadow, unchained by Tartarus, Seeking not vengeance in flame or sword, But in a Host, one of mortal flesh, A vessel through whom doom shall be poured. The Host shall be born of twilight blood, A son in whom the power of the dead flows strong. Neither fully god nor wholly man, He shall walk the earth with the weight of worlds unseen, And the dead shall heed his call as kin. Through him, wars shall be kindled like stars in the void, Thrones shall crumble, Olympus shall tremble. Not with wrath, but with change shall he strike, Unmaking the ancient order, not to reign, But to erase the right of gods to rule at all. He shall not kneel to god nor Titan, For the bones of empires will pave his path. From the ashes of divine dominion Shall rise an age where no god sits high. Beware the child who dreams of silence, Who walks among graves and speaks to none. He is the storm before the stillness, The harbinger of a world unshackled. Through him, Erebus shall wander, and through him, end the gods. *** A/N: This is my first book BTW. Just wrote it cause it was inspired by my love for Greek mythology and the PJO series. Acknowledgement: Uncle Rick, powerful author. Role model.
