Kingdoms of Ash and Gold

Humiliated and cast out by his powerful in-laws, Mateo Aurelius is forced to take a night custodian job, a stark fall from grace for a man once destined for empire.

As he navigates the treacherous world of corporate espionage and family betrayal, Mateo uncovers a sinister plot involving his wife, Elise, and a dangerous syndicate. He must protect the innocent and dismantle a criminal network, all while maintaining his carefully constructed facade of powerlessness. Can Mateo reclaim his legacy and protect those he loves without revealing the true king hiding beneath the janitor's uniform?
