Luxe Rage: The Bloodlines Behind the Dynasty

Dear friends,

It has simply been a marvelous adventure to create Luxe Rage. I have long contemplated writing something using World War II as a backdrop and incorporating it into The Feeder Series, and I am quite certain of having created a unique story.

In many ways, Luxe Rage both reveals and conceals. It exposes the bloodlines behind John Martin and the secrets and legacy of his parents, Bruce and Camilla Martin. Their impact has always been present throughout the series, but I deliberately waited to reveal them fully. Now it comes full circle in a way I deeply appreciate—and I hope it will please my readers.

There are also significant family revelations in Luxe Rage—layers of identity, loyalty, and inheritance that reshape what readers thought they knew about the Martin Dynasty.

History, Influence, and Obsession

I have always been somewhat of a history buff, largely because of my grandfather David. When I was very young, he made me read endless articles and told me stories that remain with me to this day.

In Luxe Rage, I did extensive research to ground the story in historical reality. I studied the drug Pervitin, supplied by the Nazis to their soldiers. The facts were horrifying—but also deeply revealing. Understanding the chemical edge behind the regime gave me deeper insight into how ambition, addiction, and ideology intertwined during the war.

The novel also ventures into conspiracy territory, exploring the long-standing theory that Hitler escaped the bunker and fled to Patagonia. I worked extensively to make this possibility feel historically plausible and grounded in detail.

Real historical figures move through the shadows of the book—Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, Detroit Red, Leni Riefenstahl, Ernest Hemingway. I also gave Ian Fleming a central role in Luxe Rage and included James Jesus Angleton as well. Their presence enriches the world without distorting recorded history.

At its heart, Luxe Rage is a historical spy thriller—bursting with action, suspense, and depth—while also exploring inheritance, ambition, and moral ambiguity.

As always in my books, Luxe Rage contains violence, sex, posh brands, and unapologetic decadence. The reason is simple: the characters are filthy rich, dangerous, and powerful. I do not sanitize them.

I also make sure to empower the women in The Feeder Series. They stake out their own destinies and match the men in ruthlessness. Power, in my universe, is not reserved for one gender.

It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best I have written to date. I am satisfied with how the book turned out, and I sincerely hope my readers will enjoy it.

Below, I will break down the Martin family tree—for both current readers and those new to the series.

The Martin Bloodline

Bruce Martin

Bruce Martin is the son of a German immigrant descended from the Löwenstein bloodline, a lineage rooted in Germany with deep cultural and commercial heritage. His father established a modest jewelry store in the United States, carrying with him not only craftsmanship but discipline and ambition.

Alongside his brother Theo, Bruce transformed that modest enterprise into a global empire of fine jewelry and high fashion. The Martin name became synonymous with elegance, exclusivity, and strategic influence.

During the Second World War, Bruce and his wife Camilla infiltrated Nazi Germany as independently wealthy operatives. Operating outside official command structures, they functioned as covert intelligence assets—selling critical information to MI6 while navigating the highest levels of the regime under the cover of luxury and influence.

Their actions shaped the destiny of their bloodline.

Camilla Elise de Montfort Martin

Camilla Elise de Montfort Martin was born into a powerful French aristocratic family. The daughter of a renowned winemaker, she grew up among elite circles where influence was subtle and access was absolute.

Trained as a sommelier by her father, Camilla mastered the language of refinement early—understanding how luxury and discretion could conceal intent.

She married Bruce Martin shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War and joined him in extraordinarily dangerous undercover work. Moving effortlessly through elite social environments, Camilla extracted intelligence from the highest levels of the Nazi hierarchy—where a single misstep meant death.

She is the mother of John Martin and one of the quiet architects of the Martin Dynasty.

John Martin

John Martin was born and raised in the United States, inheriting the Löwenstein discipline of his father and the aristocratic precision of his mother.

In Luxe Rage, he comes to understand that the empire he inherited was not built on ambition alone—but on espionage, sacrifice, and calculated survival in the collapse of the Third Reich.

The dynasty was not accidental.

It was engineered.

A Closing Reflection

Writing Luxe Rage has been one of the most ambitious and rewarding journeys of my career. It allowed me to explore history, bloodlines, secrecy, and power in a way that feels both personal and expansive within The Feeder Series.

This book reveals foundations long hidden. It exposes origins. It challenges inherited truths.

And above all, it completes a circle I have been building for years.

Luxe Rage will be available March 1 in my official store and on Amazon. I look forward to sharing this chapter of the Martin Dynasty with you and hearing your thoughts once you have stepped into its world.

Thank you for following the journey.

New to The Feeder Series?

If you are discovering the Martin Dynasty for the first time, here is where the journey begins:

The Feeder

Before the empire, there was a decision. When a mission in Amsterdam collapses, John Martin is pulled into a hidden world of assassins, secret cabals, and forbidden knowledge buried deep in the Amazon. The dynasty begins the moment he chooses hunger over mercy.

Alien AI

Power was never enough. When cryptic signals lead the Martins through a hidden portal in Greece and into Area 51, they uncover an intelligence older than civilization itself. What begins as an investigation becomes a war for reality—and for the future of the bloodline.

Goldblood

Long before the empire rose, John Martin fell into a jungle that tested his ambition, his endurance, and his soul. What he discovered was not survival—but the origin of power written in blood.
