But now my real brother is in trouble and Slade is the only one who can help. My parents want nothing to do with him, which means I can count on them to help find him, even to help Kellan. That leaves it up to me. But I don't ever want to see Slade again, either... do I? BOOK 2: KELLAN They call me Killer. Killer Kellan. It's a name I earned in Afghanistan, before I ever set foot in a ring. I’ve been a screw-up my entire life, but joining the Marines was supposed to straighten me out. Instead, all it did was make me dangerous. Now that I was back home, I had nothing to offer anyone but pain. No path in my future leading to anything but misery.
