The Watchman's Blood

In the ruined Republic of Albion, where law has perished in a single silent instant, Elias Vance discovers that the darkest inheritance does not lie in gold or grudges, but in the genes. A former state secrets advocate, he is forced to confront a family lineage steeped in surveillance, betrayal, and sanctioned cruelty. As chaos births a new brutal order, Elias finds the long-dormant instincts of his bloodline awakening, compelling him to build the first savage code of the wasteland. A searing novel in the tradition of Philippe Sands, exploring how the machinery of oppression can mutate from a government privilege into a personal legacy, and how the ghosts of our ancestors can dictate the future.
