The Cost of Revenge

By Lewis Bauer

In a city where power hides behind money, loyalty is bought, and betrayal is just another transaction, one man comes back from the grave to settle a score that was never meant to be paid.
Damien Calder was supposed to die in a warehouse.
Instead, he was betrayed, framed, and sentenced to eighteen years in prison while the man who set him up, Anthony "Tone" Rizzo, built an empire on the ruins of his life. But time doesn't erase a man like Damien. It reshapes him.
When he walks free, he doesn't come back to rebuild.
He comes back to dismantle everything.
What begins as calculated revenge turns into something far more dangerous. As Damien tears through the city's criminal underworld, he uncovers a system far bigger than one man, one built to survive exposure, adapt to threats, and erase anything that challenges it. Allies become uncertain. Enemies become invisible. And the line between justice and destruction begins to disappear.
Caught in the fallout are the people closest to him, Ghost, the only man who understands what Damien is becoming... Canna, the woman who remembers who he used to be... and Marcus, the friend who betrayed him to save his own blood.
As the war escalates from shadows into the open, Damien is forced to confront a brutal truth:
Revenge doesn't end the system.
It risks turning you into it.
