Novels by Dio DreamBender

Ethan Vale has spent three years as the invisible son-in-law of the powerful Ashcroft family. To them, he's nothing more than a failure living under another man's roof—a man without ambition, influence, or even the courage to defend himself. While his wife struggles to keep their crumbling marriage alive, her family never misses a chance to remind Ethan that some people are simply born to be nobody. Ethan has learned to accept the insults. After all, a man who has nothing left to lose doesn't need pride. But everything changes when an old stranger watches Ethan endure yet another humiliation... and quietly says something that makes no sense. "You spent your whole life trying to survive... and never realized you were already living the First Law of Zero." Within days, people Ethan has never met begin watching him. Powerful strangers ask impossible questions. Ancient symbols appear where they shouldn't. And for the first time in his life, Ethan discovers that being treated like nobody may have been the most dangerous thing that ever happened to him. Because if Ethan Vale truly is nobody, then why are the most powerful empires on Earth suddenly trying so hard to bury him?

In New Avalon, where power is currency and ambition is the price of survival, Evelyn Carter, the youngest General Manager in the history of Redstone Global Holdings, has become the brilliant face of the world's most influential corporation. Feared by rivals and admired by her peers, she has built her life on intelligence, discipline, and relentless determination. Then, on an ordinary Monday morning, a meticulously planned kidnapping changes everything. Her unexpected rescuer is not a decorated bodyguard or a passing hero, but a quiet homeless man pushing a rusted shopping cart through the streets. With impossible precision, he dismantles three professional kidnappers before disappearing into the crowd as though nothing had happened. Determined to reward the stranger who saved her life, Evelyn soon discovers something impossible. He has no birth certificate. No fingerprints. No military record. No employment history. No criminal file. To every government database and intelligence agency, he doesn't exist. He is a ghost known only by a whispered designation: Red-Labeled. As Evelyn's search for the mysterious drifter draws him into the heart of Redstone Global, the company is thrust into a ruthless corporate war where billion-dollar mergers conceal deadly conspiracies, boardrooms become battlefields, and loyalty is bought, sold, and buried. The deeper she digs, the more impossible the mystery becomes. The homeless man seems to understand Redstone's inner workings better than many of its own executives, as though he has been quietly watching the empire long before anyone noticed him. With hidden enemies closing in and unseen forces moving behind the scenes, Evelyn must decide whether to trust the one man the world has already discarded. Because in a city where appearances are weapons and everyone wears a mask, the greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in plain sight... It's the man they don't see coming.
