Retirement does not come cheap.

At the age of seven, he received the name that retired the devil-Bloody Hands. After decades of completing his father's contracts, Miles Graves is calling it quits. All for the love of his life, Rikii, which takes precedence over anything else. With one last contract to complete, Miles and Rikii must finesse their way through criminal enterprises with blood and bullets. But as this contract comes closer to completion, Miles quickly learns, freedom is only a dream.

Glory always comes with a price.

The legendary Lord of War has shaken hands with a power that is above his understanding. But love is sacrifice, and Buddha Bane didn't know he had to sacrifice his son for such privilege. Now contracted to spend centuries to battle an enemy that threatens the realm, Buddha forges a new weapon that will close his contract. Can his new weapon live up to its expectations and pierce the heart of his enemy?

Violence is the only answer.

Tia Graves, heir to the Graves Foundation, was only a teenager when she facilitated the project that oversaw Rikii's conception. Tia intended to provide a weapon to her father that would rival her brother-Bloody Hands. While Tia's ambition to seize power throughout the world became concrete, so did Miles and Rikii's relationship, which fueled her anger. To take from Bloody Hands is only a fool's errand, and Tia Graves is no fool.
