The Weight of Iron

Staff Sergeant Ambrose Desrosiers has survived five deployments. He doesn't remember most of the last one. Every tour changes him - faster reflexes, impossible strength, and gaps in his memory that end with enemies dead and his own weapon untouched. He tells himself it's combat stress. He comes home determined to never touch a gun again, to finally live the quiet life his mother always wanted for him. Instead, his oldest friends show up to welcome him home - and reveal there's a ten-million-dollar bounty on his head, placed by someone who's been watching him for years, waiting to confirm exactly what he is. When the people hunting him poison his mother to force his hand, Ambrose stops holding back. What comes out of him is faster, stronger, and far more violent than anyone expected - and far more familiar to him than he wants to admit. Rooted in Haitian Vodou mythology and the loa Ogou, spirit of war and iron, The Weight of Iron is a supernatural military thriller about inheritance, restraint, and the cost of finally letting go - for fans of grounded action with real mythological teeth.
