Blood Tribunal - Lies on the Stand of Eternity

Lucian M. Crowe

Sinossi

Dragged in chains before an underground court lit by blood-red torches, Adrian Kael faces judgment for crimes he can’t confess and doesn’t dare deny. In the Tribunal, every word is a blade. Lies bleed years from his life. Truths can damn someone else.

Witnesses step from the shadows: a mentor turned accuser, a lover guarding secrets, a prosecutor who seems to know too much. With every testimony, Adrian gambles with time itself, watching his life burn away as the court feeds on contradiction.

But this is no ordinary trial. The laws are older than memory, etched in ash and bound with blood. The witnesses are tethered, the prosecutor shackled to her own bargains, and the Judge’s riddles suggest survival lies not in honesty but in choosing the right lies to spend.

As ritual overtakes reason, Adrian must face the question that’s haunted him since the first torch flared: is he truly the one on trial, or just a pawn in someone else’s sentence?

In a court where truth corrodes and lies devour years, how long can words keep him alive?

***

And as this story closes, remember it is only one signature in the greater ledger of HELLSIGNATURE.

Across boardrooms and parliaments, carnival tents and bloodstained courts, neon alleys and hidden networks someone waits with a contract ready. HELLSIGNATURE is a series of dark bargains, written in moments of fear, hunger, or reckless hope. Each tale reveals what happens when the fine print comes due and escape is no longer an option.

Here, temptation wears many masks, but all of them hide decay. Every promise cuts deep, every victory carries a curse.

No deal is clean. No pact is safe. Every signature bleeds more than ink.

Sheep Show Shenanigans The: A...

Hang Nguyen

🐑 Sheep breeder and show organizer Baa-bara Woolcott is running the prestigious National Sheep Show when the event's most competitive exhibitor—a notorious fleece champion with questionable breeding practices—is found dead in the show ring, tangled in blue ribbon with a suspicious shearing mark on the championship fleece. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Baa-bara notices the fleece has been deliberately contaminated with vegetable matter and the victim's breeding records contain falsified lineage documents. With the sheep show in turmoil and the farming community bleating with suspicion, Baa-bara must herd the facts together. Assisted by her 4-H club students and the handsome veterinary geneticist analyzing DNA samples, Baa-bara uncovers a scheme involving sheep identity theft, fraudulent breeding records, and a sophisticated operation swapping premium breeding stock with inferior animals. From suspicious wool crimp patterns that reveal cross-breeding to DNA markers that don't match the registered lineage, every fleece tells a story. But when Baa-bara discovers the victim was systematically replacing prize-winning bloodlines with ordinary stock to control the breeding market, she realizes the killer is protecting genetic integrity more valuable than any trophy. With the grand championship judging approaching and the real fleece fraudster still pulling the wool over everyone's eyes, Baa-bara must corral the evidence before her own reputation gets sheared for good.

Scorched Earth

Christopher Cartwright

Pax West was only four years old when he nearly killed another child.
Extensive physical and behavioral testing revealed a unique genetic anomaly that might explain his extreme responses to external threats. Specifically, his ventromedial prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain that governs emotions, morals, and ethics – was missing. Neurologists had never encountered such a condition. Most believed he wouldn't survive to adulthood. Some even suggested he should be locked up – or euthanized while there was still time.
But Dr. Alan Kepler, a leading neurologist working with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, had a different idea.
If Pax West could be tamed, he would become the perfect weapon – the very tip of the spear the CIA used to keep America safe. Could he be taught to override his impulses and develop an unwavering sense of duty to his country?
By eighteen, Pax became a Navy SEAL. By twenty-four, he was recruited by a clandestine arm of the CIA to become a Ghost – a man who didn’t exist. His honor and duty to his country were now hardwired into his very being. He lived to serve, finding purpose in his new moral compass: doing whatever it took to protect his country.
But what happens when a mission goes wrong, and Pax discovers that the very man he's been taking orders from for years has betrayed the nation he's sworn to protect?
Pax must do what he’s always done: find and neutralize the threat. But what if saving this enemy’s life is the only way to prevent World War III from erupting?
If you're a fan of authors like Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Brad Taylor, or Lee Child, you will enjoy this thrilling new series from the bestselling author of the Sam Reilly series, Christopher Cartwright.
