PROTECT AND SERVE
Book 1 of the Nocturne Saga
by James McCarthy
They broke Cain Bishop.
Once a loyal cop in a city rotting from the inside out, he lost everything when the system he served turned on him. Betrayed, brutalized, left for dead, Cain wasn't saved by justice - he was claimed by something else. Something born of grief, rage, and the twisted experiments buried deep within Nocturne's darkest alleys.
Resurrected by a mutagenic serum meant to erase him, Cain becomes more than a man. His flesh can break and rebuild itself. His grief sharpens into claws. His sorrow calcifies into unbreakable armor. But every gift comes at a price - and Cain's humanity is slipping away with every step he takes toward vengeance.
When he returns, the city barely recognizes the monster it created.
They call him Nocturne.
Nocturne doesn't seek justice. He delivers reckoning.
Corrupt cops, human traffickers, and the twisted elites hiding behind blood-money empires all find themselves hunted in the choking shadows of a city that has forgotten how to fight for itself. But as Cain tears into the city's underbelly, a deeper evil watches from behind the walls - the Surgeon, the architect of Cain's transformation, and the mind behind a far deadlier plan.
Cain's war is not just against criminals. It's against a system designed to devour hope. Against science wielded like a scalpel. Against the monsters who believe they can breed suffering into submission.
But as Cain's powers grow and his mind frays, he faces a brutal truth:
You can't protect a world already dead.
You can only decide how loud it screams before the end.
PROTECT AND SERVE is the first brutal chapter of the Nocturne Saga - a dark, adrenaline-soaked thriller for fans of The Crow, Punisher: Max, and The Boys.
If you crave visceral action, tragic antiheroes, and a city that bleeds on every page, Cain Bishop's war will leave scars you won't forget.
