Durante os anos 70, Carlo, conhecido como Abaçai, era o senhor absoluto do crime organizado no Brasil. Operando em meio à repressão do regime militar, ele criou um império criminoso que se estendia por todo o país, corrompendo políticos, controlando a polícia e manipulando a economia nas sombras. Sua mente estratégica e brutalidade o tornaram uma lenda, mas também o levaram à ruína. Traído por aqueles em quem confiava, Carlo encontrou um fim violento. No entanto, o destino lhe deu uma segunda chance. Em 1991, ele renasce como Túlio Panvanore, em uma família de classe média em Brasília. Com memórias intactas de sua vida passada e o conhecimento de como manipulou e moldou o país, ele percebe que o legado de Abaçai ainda vive. As estruturas de poder que construiu continuam a influenciar a sociedade atual, e os fantasmas de suas ações assombram o presente. Agora, Túlio enfrenta um dilema: usar suas habilidades e experiência para retomar o controle do submundo, reconstruindo o império de Abaçai, ou encontrar um novo caminho em um Brasil que ainda carrega as marcas do caos que ele criou. Mas o passado nunca permanece enterrado, e antigos aliados e inimigos começam a perceber que o fantasma de Abaçai pode estar de volta. Em uma Brasília dividida entre política, corrupção e a memória de um império criminoso, Túlio descobre que sua segunda vida pode ser tão mortal quanto a primeira. Afinal, o que é mais perigoso: um homem que aprendeu com seus erros ou um mundo que ainda vive sob sua sombra?

A digital world much like others, a false world. A world so much like reality. Yet still a false world. That was Code Revive, yet another simple virtual reality game. That sadly fell to the same trend of a Death Game or so they thought. Players cannot log out their avatar bodies now projected as holos (holograms) within the physical world. Their minds sealed within their new forms. The game continued, in a new form. Yet this quickly revealed the dark truth of their ‘new’ reality. What was real? What was false? Questions that soon plague society itself as the fabrics of reality came crashing down upon mankind. Disclaimer artwork cover is not mine just a representation art for reference.

In Crown of the Shadows and Desire, love and power collide in a dark, thrilling tale where nothing is as it seems and even the most trusted allies may be enemies in disguise.

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end?
