Shredded A Novel

Twenty-four-year-old Jaxon Reed is a gifted amateur bodybuilder with one dream: to become the next Mr. Olympia. Charismatic on social media but haunted behind the scenes, he’s willing to sacrifice everything—family, relationships, and eventually, morality—for greatness.

When Jaxon joins an elite underground training group known as The Iron Circle, he discovers a world where drugs, manipulation, and psychological warfare are the norm. As his body transforms and his fame rises, so does the body count. At first, it looks like freak accidents—overdoses, gym collapses, heart attacks—but Jaxon suspects someone is removing the competition.

The deeper he gets, the more he starts to question if he’s being watched—or controlled. And when someone close to him dies under suspicious circumstances, Jaxon realizes the biggest threat might not be someone else…

…it might be himself.
