In the final decades of the 21st century, a devastating nuclear exchange shatters human civilization, leaving behind a world of irradiated red zones and scattered section cities. From the ashes of this catastrophe, a new order arises—the contributory families, secretive dynasties who wield vast power through a combination of inherited wealth, genetic engineering, and technological supremacy.
Born into this brutal hierarchy, Lord Derrick Redstone is the youngest of five brothers, a position that makes him a strategic liability in his family's ruthless struggle for dominance. As his elder brothers jockey for succession, their competition escalates into a dangerous game where assassination is disguised as accident and loyalty is a commodity to be purchased. To survive, Derrick must build his own power base from the ground up, recruiting a team of mercenaries from the seedy underbelly of society to undertake missions that his family's professional operatives would never dare attempt.
His precarious plan takes an unexpected turn with the recruitment of a mysterious operative known only as Lady X—a rogue construct whose unique combination of enhanced physiology, combat prowess, and tactical genius makes her an invaluable, and dangerous, asset. Their partnership deepens through a series of high-stakes missions, leading to an undeniable connection that defies the strict genetic protocols governing Derrick’s life.
But when a mission ends in betrayal and the destruction of everything he has built, Derrick discovers that his family’s ambitions are far more sinister than he imagined. Forced into a desperate fight for survival, he must reconcile his loyalty to a family that seeks to destroy him with his love for a woman they have deemed a threat to their genetic purity. Prime Dominance: Redstone Clan is a story of love and loss, survival and betrayal, and one man’s relentless quest to build a new future from the ruins of the past.
