Edgewater looks peaceful from the outside-quiet streets, family porches, corner stores that never close. But underneath the surface is a world built on secrets, survival, and the kind of loyalty that can ruin you. Shalynn Rivera grew up learning that love is dangerous and trust can get you killed. When a betrayal tears her life apart and the streets take everything she thought she had, she steps into a darkness she never imagined-one where power has a price, and revenge is the only language people understand. But Edgewater is alive. Watching. Waiting. And once you enter its shadows, there's no walking back into the light.
