Right of Retribution Series by William D. Arand

Warner spent his days like almost anyone else. He got up, went to work, answered phone calls in a call center, went home, spent time with his daughter, and went to sleep. Only to repeat the pattern over and over and over. Life was as mundane as anyone could ever fear it to be. Today was the day that all that would change. On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed... moreWarner spent his days like almost anyone else.

Life was as mundane as anyone could ever fear it to be. Today was the day that all that would change. On this day, his daughter Maya would be nearly fatally injured, plunging Warner into a world of paranormal creatures, monsters, and magic he’d never known existed. The only consolation is that he discovers he’s not quite human, either. Nor is he very happy with the way of the world or how it spun. Built on corruption, lies, and injustice for all. An unlikely answer comes to him that fits his wounded heart. Justice handed out by him personally. Vengeance and retribution in equal measure to all that deserve it. Using his newfound powers and unbending determination, Warner is going to carve a path through the world that’ll send the darkest corners of existence fleeing before him. Even as he crushes them beneath his furious strikes. The very world will tremble with his actions and fear his coming. Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show.

Cutting down all who would stand before him and attempt to stop him in his personal crusade. The price he had to pay for such a power cost him his life. He was forced to the point of giving all of himself to redeem the original holder of the right of Retribution, Warin. Warner was quick to pay that price. His effort was paid back to him in triplicate when Warin willingly passed the mantle to him. Giving all of what he was to Warner, effectively ending his life. Now Warner is the holder of the rights for Vengeance, Retribution, and Redemption. Each power has recognized him and responds willingly, allowing him to blend all three of them with growing mastery. Long gone are the days of being sick after utilizing them. Now the only concern Warner faces is the correct usage of those powers, and when to use them. The world is an ever-shifting gray area that gets murkier by the year. The great change that’d been on the horizon is now upon the world. A change that will cast the entirety of existence into shadow, or bring it back to stability. A reckoning no one wished for has arrived. The very world stands on the edge of a knife, waiting to see who will prevail. less
