INK & FIRE
Ace Rivera has always been a fighter—on the streets, in her own head, and with the ink that marks her skin. At seventeen, she’s an **amateur tattoo artist** with more scars than she lets anyone see and a temper that could burn the world down. But when one brutal mistake leaves a man **unrecognizably beaten**, Ace finds herself at the center of a war she never saw coming.
Now, **they’re hunting her.**
With her tight-knit crew—Max, the one girl who refuses to let Ace push her away; Jayson, the chaos-driven ride-or-die; Mika, the quiet force that keeps them grounded; Kyle and Tim, the brothers Ace never had; and Leon, the wildcard with blood on his hands—Ace is forced to choose: **run, or fight.**
But as the past comes back with a vengeance and enemies close in, Ace spirals deeper into the darkness she swore she could control. **She’s losing herself.** And the more she fights, the more the monster inside her begs to be unleashed.
Can Ace claw her way back before she **destroys everything she has left?**
Or is it already too late?
Pain. Blood. Loyalty. Revenge. This isn’t just survival—it’s war.
