Publisher's Synopsis
Still battling the grief of losing her parents, Heart is one of the youngest kingpins running the streets and she uses her power to start a war with Spade. Just like her name, Heart only sees red as she tears through the streets knocking down Spade's pawns like only a real queen would. However, with her soldiers dropping left and right, Heart is forced to take on an unlikely ally: her long lost cousin, Ace. Cunning and mysterious, Ace takes on a new identity and finds himself breaking bread with Spade, his father and enemy. The road to hell isn't easy, but he soon discovers that in Spade's world it's called Headquarters, a large building in the middle of the hood holding the secrets to Spade's organization. Forced to wear two faces, Ace teeters the blurred lines of being the faithful soldier and the scorned son. Bitter and angered by her sudden replacement, Diamond's eyes are only set on revenge: revenge for the embarrassment of being tossed aside by Spade, revenge for being replaced with someone younger and prettier, and most importantly, revenge for her love being rejected by Spade. With a new alliance formed with King and Ace, Diamond may have the key to Spade's undoing or possibly the last piece of her undoing. Once one of the most respected lieutenants in the hood, King has been exiled and not only has his pride been stolen from him, but a piece of him that can't be replaced. As King comes to term with this sudden life change, he wonders if his condition will ruin any chance he had of reuniting with Heart or will he be able to his queen rule the streets as her king? Once divided by separate goals, Heart, King, Diamond and Ace have now come together to right the wrongs caused by the king of the streets, Spade. Will they be able to overthrow Spade or will he defeat them again and this time have no mercy?
