Three years ago, Ethan Ward was the man everyone admired. He was smart, loyal, and in love. But when the woman he trusted most betrayed him, he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. In prison, Ethan met Victor Vale, the legendary mastermind who once controlled Eastbridge City’s hidden world. Under Vale’s guidance, Ethan learned more than how to survive.

The city that betrayed him will soon remember his name. The woman who destroyed him will plead for mercy. And the empire that buried him will burn when he returns.
