Only the ties that bind us - Original by AKA

Born into the ruthless Reece family, Alecsander is the oldest of twins-and the only one gifted with their rare genetic ability: Total Recall. His flawless memory marks him as the true heir to The Reach Association.

At four, Alecs falls under the iron grip of his grandfather, Joshua, Current leader of The Reach.

Appointing his second-in-command, Kyle "Sandman" Saunders, as their warden, Joshua unwittingly sets darker plans in motion: Kyle uses Alecs's younger twin, Adrien, as leverage, molding both boys into puppets he can control.

After four brutal years of training and mind manipulation, a failed escape attempt shatters everything.

In the chaos of a terrible accident, Alecs vanishes from their world.
To the Reece family, their prodigy is presumed dead. And with their biggest rivals, Gemini Corp vying for Joshua's throne, the truth must stay buried.

Left behind, Adrien is forced to live as his brother. Reintroduced as Sander Reece, he preserves their family's fragile reign-and hides a dangerous secret.

Alecs isn't gone. Severely injured and with a fractured memory, he is found wandering in the middle of nowhere. To escape the fear of a past he can't remember, he forges a new identity-Alecs Renton-and disappears into the foster system.

When seven years later, Sandman massacres The Pryers gang for refusing to reveal Kage's identity-the infamous delivery man suspected of Colluding with Gemini Corp and stealing from The Reach-he mistakes a fleeing Kage for Adrien and punishes his rebellious pawn mercilessly.

The aftermath reveals a more valuable truth: Alecs is alive-and he is Kage.

Obsessed with reclaiming him-and the power he represents-Kyle sets a merciless game in motion. In the storm ahead, only the strongest bonds will survive, but in a world where love is weaponized, the ties that bind us together, may very well become the noose that kills.
