Hey all! Launched my new series yesterday with 15 chapters (~55,000 words), chapter 16 went up this morning - posting M-F at 10 AM EST. I'll spare you the long spiel, but if you're into revenge stories that take a more mature (attempted, at least) approach, you might enjoy it. Blurb below.
Cheers,
JB

Title: The Duke of Ashes
When seeking revenge, dig your own grave first? Loser's mentality.
The world thinks I'm dead, burned up in the same fire that killed my parents, but the world is wrong... Cassius Petracca, the rightful Duke of Eastwatch, is very much alive.
Spirited away by a mysterious stranger, I spent seventeen years growing up on Earth, unaware of who I really was. Then the past caught up with me the way my problems so often do, violently and with a side of permanent disfigurement.
Now, I've returned home to the magic-infused planet of my birth where my name is a ghost story and my father's killer builds his stolen empire on murder and taxation. Knowledge is power here, and so I gain it in secret, determined to master the System shoved into my brain, hunt down the scumbags who stole my life, and reclaim the Dukedom that was my birthright - even if it kills me.
Revenge is a long game, but I'm just about done playing dead.
