ly, ZION had the streets on lock. But when a judge's gavel landed him in prison, he was quickly introduced to the SHADOWS OF THE GAME. After serving a ten year sentence, Zion returns to society determined to have a positive impact on the same streets that he once controlled. But it doesn't take long before his previous sins come back to haunt him.

As a hustler's wife, EBONY had it all, the money, the cars, the boss-chick status and the house on the hill. But when her children's father was murdered in cold blood, she was quickly introduced to the SHADOWS OF THE GAME. Ebony's worst fear is that her teenaged sons, JABARI and KENYATTA, will follow in their father's footsteps, and the older they get the more she realizes how hard it is for a woman to raise a man.

When Ebony meets Zion, it's like looking into the eyes of a soulmate. He's everything she ever wanted in a man. But when tragedy strikes and the world comes crashing down, there's no time for love.

The only thing on Ebony's mind is revenge.
