Starting a new story in the James Mercer Universe. I am aiming to release a new chapter a week.
James returns from the Middle East, ready to embrace peace, be with his family, and even Beast.
He decides to surprise his family with an early homecoming. But his surprise homecoming takes a dark turn. What awaits isn’t joy—it’s betrayal.
Haunted by a past he thought he had buried—an obsessive stalker, Russia, life in Washington, D.C., politics, and dangerous dealings in the shadows—James is pushed to the edge. To protect what’s left of himself and his family, he vanishes once more… into the only world he truly understands: loneliness and anonymity. It takes the unfortunate death of one who he is close to, to bring him back.
For those who messaged me through SOL — yes, the story is definitely continuing. I’ll admit, I kind of slammed the door shut like that was the end and nothing else was coming. Sorry about that! I've added a little teaser to the current ending, so now the door closes a bit more softly.
In a few days, the storyline will pick back up under the title Path to Convergence. Hopefully, the wait will be worth it!
War has ended, but peace does not come easily. The enemy has fallen, the troops march home, and James carries with him an unexpected gift—one that brings both comfort and unease. As he returns to the life he left behind, something awaits. Normalcy may be within reach, yet something he yearns for is about to be turned upside down.
Chapter Eight is in the queue.
Chapter 7 is in the queue and will be available shortly. James finds himself locked in battle with an entirely different kind of enemy—one that countless others have faced before, some emerging triumphant, others crushed beneath its weight. The press wages an unrelenting war, taking no prisoners. In the end, who will claim victory, and who will be left shattered and vanquished?
Chapter 6 is queued. Mercer engages in a game of hide-and-seek in the desert.
