Book Cover & Preview Text
Time. What is time? Time is relative to whatever we’re experiencing in the moment. I could have been here for minutes, hours, days, weeks. I didn’t really know. I hadn’t seen the sun in what seemed like forever. All that was in view was the same wall that had been staring sullenly back at me for what could had easily been an eternity. The sturdy wooden chair beneath me was cemented to the floor, and my wrists and ankles were shackled tightly onto it. I didn’t know how long I’d been here. I missed my family. I missed my friends. I missed Aiden and Lucas. Solitary confinement was a horrible thing. At first, my resolve was fully intact and unwavering. I was solid and strong, but as time moved on, that will—my will—deteriorated into nothingness, and I made friends with my reflection despite the fact that I had become my own demon. Sanity crumbles away slowly, as does the instinct to survive until I just wanted an out. I wanted out.

About the Book
Seventeen-year-old Lucas Duff has absolutely nothing.
To the rest of the world, he is the bad boy and a lost cause with a fatal case of apathy. His whole family is dead. His definition of love is closer to lust; his heart was broken and repairing it took too much effort when he knew it would just get smashed like it had previously. Desperate to feel something, he grasps at anything that offers even the slightest hint of reprieve from his boredom.
With nowhere else to go, his options are limited, and now he’s trapped in Seattle’s most feared gang—Seattle’s Eyes. Stripped of his humanity, he becomes inextricably entangled in a trap of obligations, blackmail, and violence from which there is seemingly no escape.
He’s convinced that things are at an all-time low, and with nothing left to lose, Lucas will bring the gang down once and for all. But whom can he trust?
