Dear readers,
Before the world was on the brink of World War III... before Blackridge burned, before Victoria pulled the trigger, and before the internet exploded with #FebruaryKillsMichael—there was a beginning. A secret foundation built in silence and blood.
I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming release of The Origins of O.Y.A. — the official prequel to One Year of Assassination. This story will take you back to when the twelve assassins were not yet legends, but survivors. Strangers. Enemies. Broken people drawn together by a force darker and more deliberate than any of them understood.
Here are some of the plot that you'll uncover:
The hidden trauma behind Agent May's grin—and how the "Deadeye Joker" was born.
What turned October into a ghost among men.
The classified downfall of the original Agent January.
The truth about Agent December's loyalty… and the shadows he reports to.
The secrets of Agent April: The Mirror Assassin.
And many more, unexpected plot twists.
This prequel is packed with secrets, betrayals, stories you won't see coming. Every chapter brings you closer to understanding who these assassins really are—and what they sacrificed to become part of the O.Y.A.
This journey is far from over. O.Y.A. is a slow burn—layered with political intrigue, emotional scars, long-buried alliances, and the quiet unraveling of something much larger than any mission. There are many more chapters to come, each one carefully built to earn its moment.
The pace may be deliberate, but every silence hides a clue. Every hesitation foreshadows impact.
So stay sharp. Keep reading.
Because the assassins are only getting started.
And the real war hasn't even begun.
