In the Shadow of a King, Vol 1: Violet Fire
HE IS THE RESISTANCE'S GREATEST WEAPON.
HE IS THE EMPIRE'S PROPHESIED KING.
Under the grip of Government One (G-1) and the ancient, shadowy NeoTemplar Order, freedom has become a buzzword of propaganda and accepted oppression is the way of life. But the resistance breathes in the dark.
By day, Les Freeman is a charismatic national television host, one of the last dissenting voices daring to question the global police state. By night, he is "Smoke," the lethal operational commander of the Shadows, a decentralized network of elite warriors, hackers, ghosts, and everyday people fighting to dismantle the empire.
As the oppressors prepare to launch the ARC, a devastating satellite-mounted directed energy weapon capable of global annihilation, Les and his co-commander, the deadly assassin Angel, must orchestrate a daring strike at the heart of the regime in The Hague.
But Les is fighting a terrifying war on two fronts. Plagued by violent blackouts and fractured memories, he harbors a devastating secret he is only just beginning to understand: his alter-ego, Alexander, is the prophesied Seventh Crown. He is the cold-blooded Merovingian heir the enemy has been waiting centuries to enthrone.
To save humanity, Les must win a war against the man in the mirror before the king inside him claims the world and his soul.
Welcome to the Shadows. The epic saga begins here.
