Silver Shadows The gangs running this city aren’t chaotic criminals. They’re systems. Supply chains that move weapons through hidden routes. Information networks that erase enemies before they even know they’re targeted. Alliances that decide which districts survive—and which disappear. Most people never see the machine behind it. Ethan Hale did. The night his father was killed, Ethan saw how the system worked—and where it could break. Instead of fighting gangs head-on, he attacks what keeps them alive: supply routes, alliances, and information. With Dante acting as his enforcer, Ethan begins dismantling the networks controlling the city from the inside. But every move shifts the balance of power. And the deeper Ethan goes, the harder it becomes to stop. He’s fighting to keep his sister Lila alive. Fragile. Sick. And the only reason he hasn’t lost himself completely. Destroying the system might save the city. But controlling it might destroy him.
