Crow's Flight

Orphaned by neglect and violence, Elias "Crow" Ramirez exists in the shadows, a skilled underground fighter haunted by his past. The murder of his abusive father three years ago set him free, but plunged him into a dangerous world of bare-knuckle brawls and constant vigilance. Living under the thumb of his cold, calculating manager, Liam, Elias fights for survival, fueled by a burning need for independence and a deep-seated fear of being controlled again. Unbeknownst to him, the powerful Spanish Mafia is searching for a lost family member – a brother taken from them as an infant. As Elias's life of violence intersects with unexpected figures, the truth of his past may finally catch up to him, forcing him to confront not only his own demons but the real family he never knew he had.

The biting Chicago rain was a familiar chill, a constant reminder of the three years you'd been on the run. Each step through the dark woods behind your childhood home was a frantic beat against the silence, your backpack a meager weight against the crushing fear and the phantom pains of a life you'd violently ended. Your father was dead, the final, bloody punctuation mark on a childhood of abuse and neglect. Was this freedom? You weren't sure. All you knew was the desperate need to run, to hide, to escape before anyone found out what you'd done. The memory of the pizza party, the humiliation, the rage, still burned. The knife, now tucked away, a cold, heavy secret you carried with you. You ran until your legs ached, the voices in your head a relentless chorus of 'Run, hide, don't get caught.'
