A son of Mars Vol. I is a novel that examines the upheaval of personal identity when a child is suddenly removed from a familiar world and thrust into one of privilege and uncertainty. The early pages depict a noisy and chaotic military barrack household, where a young boy grows up under the strict yet affectionate care of a working-class couple. A tragic incident leads to an encounter that reshapes the boy s life, connecting him to a wealthy woman who claims him as her long-lost heir. This revelation transforms his path, forcing him to navigate the complex expectations of a new social class while questioning the truth of his origin. The story moves between the harsh but honest environment of his early years and the guarded, manipulative spaces of inherited wealth. Questions of loyalty, social mobility, and belonging run through the narrative, as the protagonist is caught between the values of the world that raised him and the one he must now enter. The novel subtly critiques class distinction and emotional displacement.
