The City Without Saints
Book One: The Orphan Boy
There is a city where sin is the only law.
Built on an island and ruled by two rival powers-one hidden behind luxury, the other behind fear-Ascalon is the criminal capital of the world. A place of masked kings, bloodstained wealth, and desires that bend every moral compass. No government, No police. No rules. Only anarchy.
They brought him there to fight.
Gael is just an orphan from the quiet hills of the mainland. A boy with no future, no past worth remembering-just fists, instincts, and something broken burning inside him. He was supposed to be another pawn. Another ghost. Instead, he becomes something more.
In a city where devils wear angel's smiles, and demons call themselves family, Gael must navigate a world built on lies, power, and violence. He rises fast-too fast. And as he climbs, the boy who never belonged begins to matter to people who never cared.
But in Ascalon, nothing is given without a price.
And the higher you rise, the farther you fall.
The Orphan Boy
is the first chapter in
trilogy-an emotionally charged, noir coming-of-age story about power, identity, and the demons we carry. A tale of survival, love, and the quiet war between who we are and who the world demands we become.
