Blood Ties

They were forged in the shadow of a rolling tomb. They were destined for greatness, but the system had other plans. For brothers Dwan, Ryan, and Brian, "home" was a revolving door of foster houses and the harsh, unforgiving streets of San Antonio's East Side. Their only foundation was a blood-deep vow made in the wreckage of a tragic childhood: Nobody breaks us. Nobody splits us up. But as they edge toward adulthood, the bureaucratic machine that raised them threatens to consume their youngest brother, Brian—a natural-born basketball prodigy and their only hope for a life beyond the concrete. When their biological father resurfaces, hungry to exploit Brian's rising star for profit, the older brothers realize the only way to save their family is to step out of the shadows and take what they need to survive. From a desperate, high-stakes armored truck heist to a cold, calculated war for territory in the industrial sprawl of Northern California, the Greene brothers must reinvent themselves to stay one step ahead of the law and the demons of their past. As they build an empire of secrets and steel, they are forced to confront the ultimate price of their protection: a future bought with blood, defined by a stolen name, and guarded by an unbreakable bond.
