Malakai Jackson has never stayed in one place for long.
With a father in the U.S. Army and the loss of his mother hanging over everything, he's spent his life moving from base to base, learning one simple rule: don't get attached. Pack light. Keep your guard up. Never let anyone see you break.
When the Jacksons arrive in Los Angeles, Michael hopes a local karate dojo will help his son channel the anger that's been building for years.
That dojo is Cobra Kai.
What starts as a way to control his temper quickly drags Malakai into a rivalry that consumes the Valley. Between school fights, karate tournaments, and the growing war between dojos, he finds himself caught between loyalty and the person he wants to become.
Then there's Tory Nichols.
Fierce. Stubborn. Unapologetically dangerous.
Tory knows what it's like to fight for everything and trust no one. The more time she spends with Malakai, the more she realizes they're not so different. But in a world where every choice has consequences and every relationship becomes a target, falling for each other might be the biggest risk either of them has ever taken.
Because in Cobra Kai, mercy is weakness.
And love can be just as dangerous as war.
