The league says Jed Amaron is finished. Dominic Greyson thinks someone made sure of it.
Veteran half-elf wide receiver Dom Greyson has built his career on pain, discipline, and silence. When his struggling brother-in-law, legendary elven quarterback Jed Amaron, becomes the target of brutal media speculation, Dom tries to stay out of it.
Then one careless comment turns him into part of the story.
After a hit-and-run leaves Dom concussed and barely functional, watching from the sidelines shows him what he missed on the field: Jed isn’t choking. He isn’t afraid. Something is wrong with him—and the people responsible for protecting him may be hiding the truth.
With the season collapsing, the press circling, and his own body warning him to stop, Dom has to expose a toxic conspiracy inside a professional football machine built to keep players useful until they break.
But the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous the game becomes.
