Runaways of the Underworld

They were meant to be hidden away-docile pieces swept off the board when the underworld went to war. The heads of the Bratva, Yakuza, Triad, and La Familia thought a hidden safehouse would keep their heirs caged and compliant.

They were wrong.

When a bloodstained French Mafia ambush shatters their sanctuary, the four rival heirs refuse to remain helpless victims. Forced together by absolute danger and bound by toxic family secrets, Luna, Nikolai, Kai, and Reina vanish into the dark city night. Behind them, they leave a multi-colored, gold-trimmed clover painted directly onto the living room wall.

A loud, lethal declaration to their parents and their hunters alike: The Runaways have arrived.

Now, they are bouncing from place to place, dodging international snipers, and untangling a setup far bigger-and far deadlier-than anyone expected.

Their parents spent eighteen years building their cages. But these heirs are ready to burn those cages to the ground and play by their own rules.

The grandmasters thought this was an easy win. They forgot that the most dangerous move on the board is The Opening Gambit.
