Welcome to the brutal, unforgiving streets of 1865 Manhattan, where the American Dream goes to die. In the shadow of the industrial revolution, Five Points stands as the most dangerous slum on the planet, a lawless wasteland ruled by bloodthirsty mobsters and corrupt officials. For most, this hellhole offers nothing but suffering, but for young Luke Burns, it serves as a crucible. He fights to keep his soul intact, clinging to his integrity in a city that demands you either kill or be killed.

The tragedy? Luke has no idea that his own brother, Brad, is the very thing he despises. Brad Burns is the Grim Reaper, the most lethal assassin in the service of the Grave Diggers, a man who has traded his humanity to ensure his brother stays sheltered from the filth of their reality. This is a visceral, high-stakes collision of brotherhood, morality, and cold-blooded violence. As the secrets between them begin to unravel, the line between hero and monster blurs into a masterpiece of grit and psychological tension. If you crave a gritty period piece that hits harder than a heavyweight boxer, Green Blood is the essential read you have been waiting for.
