Anthony was raised in silence, shielded from the legacy of his bloodline, hidden from enemies who would've used him as leverage. But silence doesn't last forever. When his identity is exposed, he's pulled into a world that doesn't forgive weakness. Now six years older, Anthony is no longer the boy they left behind. He's composed, calculating, and lethal. Reunited with his father Lucas and the family he never knew, he's thrust into a criminal empire built on discipline, loyalty, and quiet power. The family doesn't operate with noise, they operate with precision. And Anthony learns quickly: survival means adapting, and adapting means becoming something else entirely.
