Angelos Odyssey: Volume One (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578461182)

This is the story of the universe's most powerful assassin, a warrior cloaked in darkness and on a journey to find what it really means to be "strong." Strong, in a world that was long ago invaded by demons and subsequently destroyed in a nuclear war. Centuries have passed, and now the Earth can begin anew...

His name is Tavon, and he grew up on the streets of the Citadel: a City in the Sky housing the populace of an entire nation. He woke up at the age of twelve, a homeless orphan, and discovered that―despite being incompetent with nearly every other weapon―all of his skill and power existed in his ability to fight using only his fists. Angelos Odyssey is the account of Tavon's journey from a nameless youth to an enforcer for various gangs across his home city. Upon reaching the peak of his own abilities and unlocking something deep within, he was conscripted by the Angelos Association to eliminate powerful targets across the New World. This is his adventure.

Angelos Odyssey separates itself from traditional fantasy by focusing on more grim realities relevant to modern culture. The Odyssey explores themes such as addiction, domestic abuse, the effects of toxic leadership, shameless discrimination, and the corruption inherent in the powers that be. This isn't a story about perfect superheroes or tragic antiheroes; rather, the Odyssey is a ballad for the ages and a testament for realism in character development. This is a story about heart in the face of unstoppable adversity and what it means to have genuine compassion in a world so often devoid of it.
