In a tour de force narrative of violence, hope and redemption, the brothers must return to the Iron House of their childhood, to the place that almost broke them, the place it all began.
With a price on his head and everyone he loves at risk, Michael spirits Elena back to North Carolina, to the brother he'd lost and a thicket of intrigue more dense than he could possibly imagine. But a life in organized crime is not so easily abandoned. He wants a fresh start with Elena, the chance to build a family of his own. But the life he's fought to build unravels when he meets a woman who knows nothing of his past or sins. For two decades, Michael thrives on the streets of New York, eventually clawing his way to a world of wealth, fear and respect. When an older boy is brutally killed, Michael makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect his brother: He flees the orphanage and takes the blame with him. Julian survives only because his older brother, Michael, is both feared and fiercely protective.
