Ironclad Fate

The Red Chronicles

Book One of The Red Chronicles Trilogy

Red was never meant to have a fair shot. Pulled from reform school at nine by an uncle who barely wanted him, he learned fast that survival meant standing alone. By the time he hit the streets, he was more than ready—sharp, ruthless, and always one step ahead.

With Kyle, his best friend and partner in crime, Red carved out a life in the shadows, running jobs and making his own luck. But luck runs dry. When a heist goes south, Red takes the fall, keeping his mouth shut and his loyalty intact. Kyle? Nowhere to be found. No visits. No calls. Nothing.

Betrayal breeds cold resolve.

Years later, Red finds himself facing ten hard years behind bars—this time, he’s not taking the fall alone. Prison has its own code, and Red has learned the truth: loyalty is a liability, and trust is a weapon. If he’s going to make it out, he’ll need to play the game on his own terms.

Ironclad Fate is a gritty, relentless journey into the rise and fall of a man forged by the streets and hardened by betrayal. Survival isn’t just about strength—it’s about knowing when to break the rules before they break you.
