Kingdom Come

They built him to be a weapon. I loved him until he became a man.

The trial of Senator James Ashworth begins, and I walk into that courtroom knowing I am about to expose the truth—and the man I love is about to confess his own sins.

Alessio Valenti was created by a system designed to turn boys into weapons. Cerberus. The Circle. Twenty-two years of control, violence, and obedience. But now the system is collapsing—and truth is the trigger.

Ashworth’s final move is a self-destruct protocol that could erase everything, unless Alessio gives up the only proof that he ever existed. The past is unraveling. Secrets are surfacing. And the people we thought were gone are coming back.

But the real war is not in the courtroom.

It is between truth and love.

Helen Park dies protecting me. Callahan leaves behind a final riddle. And the man I love may be forced to destroy everything in order to save anything at all.

Five years later, the empire is gone.

What remains is truth, consequences—and a choice.

To rebuild the world… or walk away from it.

And in a quiet garden in Italy, I realize something terrifying:

Some endings are not endings at all.

They are beginnings.
