For years, Luka believed his brothers were the reason his life always felt one wrong move away from blowing up. They were the danger. The threat. The shadow hanging over him. Then the secrets start spilling out, and the story flips. His brothers aren't the disaster he's been bracing for. They're the ones trying to keep it from swallowing him whole. The same men he's spent years fearing are suddenly the ones stepping in front of the worst of it, making choices that could cost them their lives just to keep him standing. It messes with Luka's head, because monsters aren't supposed to protect you. Trust doesn't come easy, but neither does survival. Somewhere between the lies, the secrets, and the close calls, Luka stops just trusting them. He starts counting on them. And in the process, he learns something that scares him almost as much as the truth about his family: He's more capable than he ever let himself believe.
