T.A.P: Slated Jade

Book One of The Asphodel Project

The world didn't end in fire.

It ended in secrets.

Levi Ward was never meant to survive the night the world changed. He was just a man with too much sarcasm, too many regrets, and a past that refused to stay buried. But when the Asphodel Project unleashes something ancient into the bloodstream of humanity, Levi doesn't just survive-

He evolves.

Now hunted by the same organization that created him, Levi is pulled into a fractured resistance of enhanced survivors fighting to reclaim a world sliding into chaos. Cities fall. Governments collapse. Supers awaken. And somewhere in the ashes, a woman named Amanda refuses to let him self-destruct.

But power has a cost.

A voice begins whispering inside Levi's mind-old, calculating, and not entirely human. It offers strength. It offers vengeance. It offers answers about the mysterious figure known only as Jade.

And Levi is desperate enough to listen.

As alliances blur and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, Levi must decide who he is becoming-man, monster, or something far more dangerous. Because Jade isn't just building an army.

She's shaping a god.

And Levi might be her masterpiece.

T.A.P: Slated Jade is a dark, cinematic superhero apocalypse filled with razor-sharp banter, found-family loyalty, emotional intensity, and powers that burn brighter than the world collapsing around them.

If you love morally gray heroes, explosive battles, slow-burn tension, and a rebellion forged in blood and lightning, welcome to The Asphodel Project.

The war begins here.
