Marcus Carter has seen the worst in people. He was a mercenary who had been in a lot of wars and fought for causes he didn't believe in. He survived violence that would have killed most men.

He learns that to stay alive in this harsh world, he has to follow rules that aren't very honorable as he builds his own empire. Marcus will learn that peace is not a place to go; it's a fight that never ends in the harsh city. Will he take over the empire and rule the underworld, or will the harsh reality of the city break him?
