King of Dogs

In "King of Dogs," as America faces a Soviet-style collapse, Grayson—a conflicted blend of philosopher and warrior—makes a death-bed promise to protect a young couple expecting a child. Driven by personal loss, he navigates a chaotic landscape filled with mercenaries, hostile elites, and refugees, all while grappling with the profound implications of his promise. Set against the backdrop of the eerily beautiful desert southwest, the story juxtaposes the richness of language and Western philosophical ideals with the brutal realities of a decaying civilization.
