Fifteen years after Deacon was ordered to kill Reva Hart, the girl he secretly spared walks back into New Orleans hungry for revenge.
She has no idea the Syndicate that raised him still wants her dead, or that Mother Superior will not tolerate a living ghost inside her cartel.
Deacon was there the night her family died, and Reva is not wrong to see a monster in him, yet her fury and reckless pull toward him refuse to fade.
Nash, Shiloh, and Ever close ranks around her, and Deacon refuses to let her belong only to them.
Keeping her alive means betraying the only world he has ever served and dragging sister lies, cartel bloodlines, and the massacre’s true cause into the open.
This time he will not yield when the kill order comes; he would rather set the city alight than watch them bury her again.
