Everyone in this state knows one rule:
Power never asks for permission.
Gangs rise, towns fall, and law watches from a distance. In the middle of it all, a few people cross paths who were never meant to survive together—a man running from debt, a boy running from grief, and an outlaw who has been preparing for something long before they met.
What begins as survival turns into momentum. Momentum turns into attention. And attention is the most dangerous thing a man can earn.
Because when enough people start believing in someone, the question is no longer who will stop him—
—but how far the fall will be.
