The Sanctum Series Box Set (Books One-Four) By James Martin One story. Four books. Thirty-eight chapters. A legacy that cannot be escaped. At nineteen, Joe Smith thinks his life is finally taking shape-until tragedy uproots him from New York and sends him to Jonders Cove, a remote village on South Africa's coast. What begins as exile quickly becomes initiation. Beneath the Cove's serene beaches lies a centuries-old organisation: The Sanctum, sworn to fight hidden evils and protect the vulnerable. Joe's bloodline ties him to its legacy-and his destiny as one of its leaders. With Alex, a local surfer whose love reshapes Joe's world, and Becky, a sharp-minded ally, Joe is thrust into a battle against prejudice, betrayal, and the ghosts of his family's past. Together, they rise as Admirals of The Sanctum, but leadership demands sacrifice. From assassination attempts and classified technologies in New York, to burning mansions and plane crashes in Jonders Cove, to the haunted Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town and the opulence of Paris, Joe and Alex's journey is relentless. Alongside Nicky and young Brian, they uncover devastating truths: parents who refuse to accept them, a hidden son, and seven sunken ships that hold the answers to a legacy darker than they ever imagined. Through grief, love, betrayal, and resilience, the Sanctum story unfolds as one continuous epic-about the vows we make, the families we choose, and the price of uncovering what was meant to stay buried. The Sanctum Series Box Set is a sweeping saga of identity, survival, and the unbreakable strength of love. Perfect for readers who crave emotional thrillers, queer romance, and stories where legacy and secrecy collide with the power of chosen family.
