The Fly Guild

His father died in the plague. His mother is missing. He's on the streets of Star Gleam City. Alone and afraid, he lives life from one meal to the next, stealing what he can to get by, sleeping in alleys, until one day, he steals from the wrong person. Captured by the notorious Fly Guild, the city's most ruthless gang, he's left with one choice: Serve them or die. Set to a life of crime, he hones his skills at the expense of others, taking what is required with the guild always asking for more. As the years pass, he yearns for his freedom, wanting to be free of the oppression and debauchery of the guild. One night, while protecting a guild prostitute, he makes a choice that changes his life -- and the fate of the city -- forever. He only made one mistake: No one ever leaves the guild and lives.

Couldn't put it down.

Starts slow but interesting enough to stay and just keeps rolling. We meet the main character as a young, naive and lost boy just trying to survive. We grow with him as he starts his path down crime and survival. Looking forward to the next in the series.
