ENDURE THE PAIN
(
Mobster. Murderer. Monster.
Even though I’m all of those awful things, I can still be broken.
It’s happened before and I barely survived it.
If I were to be broken again, would it kill me?
Or can I endure the pain of a shattered soul once more?
Since I returned home, I’ve embraced my inner darkness and started down a path bathed in blood and smelling of gunmetal.
War is brewing between my family and another gang. They instigated it, but I will end it—them. Even if I have to let my darkness consume me completely.
There will be losses on both sides. I just didn’t know ours—mine—would be so grave.
My name is Maura Quinn. I’m the Banphrionsa—the next in line to take over my father’s dark kingdom of crime. And this is my story.
