"Shattered Blood" by Michael J. Melton is a gripping tale of rebellion, survival, and the fight for freedom. Set against the backdrop of a fractured United States after undeniable proof of a stolen election emerges, several states, including Texas, secede from the Union. The federal government launches brutal attacks on these states, killing thousands of innocent civilians and sparking international condemnation. Amid the chaos, Beau Roberts, a former Marine with a hidden past as a hitman, becomes a key leader in the rebellion. Alongside his comrades, including his Russian brother-in-law Nikolai, Beau navigates a war-torn landscape, engaging in guerilla warfare, sabotaging federal forces, and seeking justice for the atrocities committed against their people.

As the conflict escalates into a global affair, with nations like Russia and China intervening, the fight becomes more than just a battle for independence-it's a fight for the soul of the world. As powerful enemies close in, Beau and his allies face impossible odds, culminating in a high-stakes mission to assassinate the corrupt leaders who started it all.

Filled with intense action, moral dilemmas, and the enduring hope for freedom, "Shattered Blood" explores the lengths people will go to reclaim their sovereignty and shape their own destinies in the face of tyranny
