Once a boy trapped in the hands of a monster, Grayson Smith now stands a man carved from scars and quiet nightmares. No longer frail, no longer anyone's battlefield. He knows the fight, the ground, and the cards.
Years after Charlie, years after a damaged teen, he inherits a crown he never asked for but life prepared him to bear. His scars speak louder than words, telling stories untold, half the Mafia wants him erased. The other half-led by the most feared boss alive-wants to claim him.
Why? They share the same blood. The same flesh. Once rejected-now hunted to be taken back by force.
Grayson-the silent shadow hidden behind castle walls, the mind behind the name Pokus II-finds himself trapped again in a circle of impossible decisions. But this time he isn't alone. At his side stand the ones he must protect, even as the growing menace threatens to bring him to his knees.
He can no longer run to his uncles. He is no longer the child who needed safe hands.
He is the Silent Hands now- the one who wields the sword. But the greatest enemy isn't the Mafia at his door-it's the darkness locked inside him.
A hunger for destruction. A shadow born from blood he never wanted. A part of him that whispers he is no different from the man who abused him, no different from the father who rejected him, no different from the cruelty running through his veins.
Grayson must fight that darkness-He must be different.
Different from the man who abused him.
Different from the father who rejected him.
Different from the ruin that runs in his family
and in his veins despite his pains and losses and he must watch his heart being torn again and again.
What will become of Grayson Smith?
