Blood Ties
Heinrich de Gramont’s petition to the king to release Max Renard from his duty to serve at Westerly Fort has been signed. Max’s debt to the crown has been paid. And now his “doting” uncle expects his wayward and petulant nephew to come to the capital at once so he can be wed to Viscountess Aurélie de Marbot.
Max knows there’s no getting out of a trip to the capital this time. Also, beyond personal affairs, he has a lot of questions both for his father’s brother and a number of maternal relatives. And so, Max decides to make for Herouxville to see with his own eyes just how far blood ties can take him.

Alexey Osadchuk's journey into the world of writing began in the heart of Ukraine, where he was born in 1979. But it wasn’t just the landscapes of his childhood that shaped his future—his deep love for literature and gaming would become the cornerstone of his creative endeavors. In the late 1990s, his family moved to the sunlit coast of southern Spain, and it was here that Alexey’s imagination truly began to soar.
A passionate reader from an early age, Alexey devoured the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jack London, and Arthur Conan Doyle, all of which ignited his love for adventure and storytelling. It wasn’t long before this passion for books merged with his growing interest in online gaming, an experience that would prove to be the key inspiration for his most famous series, Mirror World.
