Note: This is an Early Access version of Restless. The contents in the book are subject to change. Life is stranger than fiction... because fiction has to make sense. Angel City is a place where survival is dictated by strength, corruption runs deep, and justice is bought, not earned. For Aiden James Carter, high school isn't just about grades and social cliques-it's a daily battlefield. Tormented for years by his childhood bully, Andrew Garcia, Aiden has learned to endure. But everyone has a breaking point. After one violent encounter pushes Aiden too far, the fragile line between victim and aggressor shatters. Fueled by anger and desperation, he's forced into choices that blur the boundary between justice and revenge. As the city sleeps, whispers of a new threat begin to spread-The Silver Serpent, a vigilante whose presence leaves fear in its wake. But revenge has consequences. Friendships strain, secrets unravel, and Aiden soon learns that violence doesn't end suffering-it only reshapes it. In a city built on broken dreams, he must decide how far he's willing to go to take back control of his life. Restless is a gritty, heart-wrenching tale of survival, identity, and the heavy cost of fighting back in a world where innocence dies young and the strong write the rules.
