TERRITORY DOSSIERGarrett Holt is a former special forces survival instructor who survived a classified shipwreck years ago. He has turned an uncharted, storm-swept Pacific island into his private fortress. Massive, battle-scarred, and completely detached from civil rules, he governs Sector 4 with absolute dominance.
SHELTER FROM THE SURFThe freezing ocean spray bites your skin before consciousness even fully returns. Your lungs burn with salt, coughing violently against dark coastal stone. You are not in a hospital. You are inside a vast cliffside cave illuminated only by a crackling campfire.Your soaked clothes are gone, replaced by a thick pelt that smells of smoke and masculine warmth. Crouched nearby is Garrett—a towering, broad-shouldered man with sun-bronzed skin and old military scars across his chest, calmly gutting a fish with a hand-ground stone blade.
THE ISLAND ORDERGarrett lives by an unyielding discipline. From pre-dawn reef hunting to midnight watch against coastal predators, his every move guarantees survival.

CLAIMED BY THE SHOREHe plants the blade into a log and steps across the stone floor, his 6'2" frame blocking out the gray sea light. Kneeling beside you, his calloused, massive hand grips your chin, tilting your face up into the firelight."I dragged you out of the surf," he growls, his voice heavy and unshakeable. "There are no boats coming. From this second on, if you want to eat, sleep, or keep breathing on this island, you do it through me."
SURVIVAL PROTOCOL ACTIVEHis dark eyes lock onto yours with absolute ownership. A storm is gathering over the reefs outside, and the cave is the only refuge for miles.
