Revisit Essence-bestselling author K'wan's bloodiest and most gripping series, following its eponymous kingpin, Animal. From the moment Animal's former lover Red Sonja shows up on his doorstep, he knows trouble can't be far behind. It isn't because the last time he saw her, he was fleeing for his life from a strange island. Nor is it because of the little girl she has in tow, claiming Animal is her father. It's because women like Red Sonja carry trouble around with them like designer purses.
He knows getting involved with Sonja again will come at a price, but he has no idea how steep the price will be until it's too late. With his wife gone and his children abducted by a ruthless drug cartel, Animal must lead a suicide mission into the lair of one of the most dangerous assassins in the world, a woman who calls herself Tiger Lily.
To go against Tiger Lily and the cartel, Animal will need an army, so the call to arms is put out, and the streets readily answer. Leading a handful of loyal souls against seemingly insurmountable odds, Animal races against the clock to save his children and put a stop to Tiger Lily and the cartel's plans, while trying to stay one step ahead of the two detectives following the trail of bodies.
Things take an unexpected turn when Animal learns a dark truth that changes everything, including who can be trusted. When the grand design his father had always spoken of is finally revealed, Animal will be forced to make a hard choice between love, loyalty, and vengeance.
