Pre-Regulated

Before the Regulators were a name that echoed through the streets, before the legends and the headlines, there was just one boy standing on the edge of a life he never asked for.

Book 3 rewinds the clock. It drags us back to the beginning - long before Blades was Blades - to the days when he was Jonathan Linden, a kid with the wrong parents, the wrong school, and no real place in the world except the one he carved out with his own two hands.

What starts as an ordinary life takes a violent turn, and each choice that follows becomes another step down a path he can't walk back from. This is the story of how the quiet one became the dangerous one. How a forgettable teenager became someone people whispered about. How a boy became the kind of man others follow.

Across school corridors, Belfast alleyways, and the hidden pockets of a city that chews people up, Jonathan learns what pain costs, what loyalty demands, and what power really feels like when you've got none of it - until, suddenly, you do.

Expect grit. Expect heart. Expect the raw, unvarnished truth behind the myth.

Book 3 isn't just an origin story - it's the ignition point.
The moment the unremarkable becomes unstoppable.
