The Story
Eastern Blood Price
“Kidnapping an oligarch’s daughter is one thing. Keeping her is another matter.”
Katya Romanova doesn’t get to just disappear, even on a forgotten island in the Gulf of Thailand. When armed men storm her private beachside party and execute everyone but her, Katya knows exactly what this is: leverage. Her father’s enemies will use her to bend him, break him, or both.
But the Romanov family doesn’t bend. And the extraction she secures isn’t what anyone expected.
They call Anya Vajra “The Ghost.” She moves through Saiyaburi’s criminal underworld like she owns it, taking down enemies with skills that shouldn’t be possible. Some say she’s not entirely human. Katya’s starting to believe them.
What should be a clean extraction turns into a chase across back alleys, smuggler routes, and sweltering jungle. The island’s criminal network tightens around them. Escape routes close. And Katya begins to realize that the woman protecting her carries secrets darker than her father’s empire.
In Saiyaburi, every debt is paid in blood. And someone’s bill just came due.

ABOUT
Riley C. Bolt
Riley C. Bolt doesn’t exist and you absolutely shouldn’t look for him. But if he did, he’d be a U.S. Army veteran with deployments in Iraq and a long career of hunting the dregs of mankind. Now based in Texas, he channels his experiences into writing fiction with a military flair.
A firearms enthusiast and student of Filipino martial arts, Riley enjoys exploring history, geopolitics, and speculative fiction. When not writing, he can be found posting on X, appreciating a well-made Sazerac, or diving into the most recent piece of fiction to have caught his interest.
