Synopsis

Sometimes survival means leaving.

Sometimes leaving only proves how much still follows you.

In East of Home, the series moves deeper into the emotional aftermath of toxic love. New places, new people, and new routines cannot erase the damage left behind by manipulation, betrayal, and fear. The past has a way of showing up in the way people trust, love, protect, and defend themselves.

This third book in The Predatory Spouse Series explores life after toxic love - the confusion, the emotional scars, the desire to start over, and the painful truth that home is not always a place of safety.

Dark, intimate, and suspenseful, East of Home is for readers who want relationship fiction with consequence, emotional depth, and characters who are still fighting for a life that feels like their own.

About this title

About the Author

Darius Blackman is the pen name of Bryan Frazier, a soldier of 22 years, father of three daughters, and independent author whose work is built around discipline, pressure, legacy, survival, love, history, identity, and the standards people live by when life demands more from them.

Blackman's nonfiction foundation is The Darius Blackman Standards Series, a five-book leadership and self-development collection shaped heavily by the lessons he learned through more than two decades in the Army. Through books such as A Man With Direction, Hold Your Ground, Built for Pressure, The Disciplined Man, and The Provider's Discipline, he writes directly to men who are ready to stop drifting, build stronger habits, protect their peace, carry responsibility, control their emotions, manage pressure, and become dependable in the places where weakness costs the most.

But Blackman's writing does not stop at self-development. His fiction moves with the same concern for consequence, identity, and power. In the Empire of Kimmett series, including The Exodus of Kemet, Convergence War, Fractured Infinity, and Thorn of convergence, he builds an Afrofuturist universe where ancient legacy, hidden history, advanced civilizations, leadership, survival, and the future of Black identity collide across worlds.

His Khemara books, including The awakening of Khemara: The first signal and Khemara Unbound, continue his interest in awakening, transformation, mystery, and ordinary people being pulled into realities larger than they ever imagined. These stories reflect one of Blackman's strongest creative themes: the moment when a person realizes the life they thought they understood was only the beginning.
