Nathan is a fifteen year old teenager, revolted by the world and its justice.
Brilliant, intelligent, cold and taciturn, his destiny is turned upside down when he is accidentally recruited by the Third Street Saints, a street gang that preaches for a better world for the Saints Row ghetto.
Their leader, Julius Little, recruits "lost boys" by the shovelful who aspire to live a better life, promising them wonders and dehumanizing them little by little by turning them into docile war machines.
Touched by the message, Nathan becomes Jack Saint and blindly fights against what he believes to be wrong without necessarily realizing that he is being manipulated.
From his teenage life, his questions about community issues, his own identity, his neuroses, his life as a young man and then as a man, his complicated relationships with women and his peers, Saints Row tells the story of a kid who didn't ask for anything and who will end up leading the biggest street gang in America.
✦The Story of a Girl Who Lost Everything and Found Her Strength✦
Kidnapped at just two years old, Gracelyn was raised by the people who stole her-her mother and stepfather. What began as a lie turned into years of cruelty, leaving her with scars that run far deeper than anyone can see.
But when tragedy strikes and the only family she's ever known dies from an overdose, Gracelyn's life is thrown into chaos once again. She's sent to live with the family she was taken from-her real father and five older brothers.
They're strangers bound by blood, desperate to make up for the years they lost. But Gracelyn isn't the same little girl they once knew. She's guarded, broken, and carrying secrets that could shatter what little trust she has left.
Can she let them in before her past destroys her chance at healing?
Or will the darkness she's lived through consume the fragile new life she's been given?
