Thrust into the violent struggles of life behind the walls of the Ashen Yard, Brock's survival within this lifetime prison-city has relied on his ability to lay low. His life sentence? Being born. Living 18 years in the Ashen Yard means life consists of chaos, but Brock adapts himself into a weapon of survival, one that the gang Lords take notice of quickly. To keep his humanity in check, Brock relies on the respite of the heavily guarded market where he sells his drawings, and the kindness of a disembodied voice at the medical dispensary. This delicate balance changes when the medicine his mother needs becomes impossible to get. Brock does everything he can to keep her healthy, but it eventually climbs to an insurmountable cost, and an alliance he never wanted to make. With gang Lords on the brink of war, his mother's health failing, and life becoming more precarious by the day, Brock will do anything to preserve what he holds precious.
