Welcome to Hacienda Heights, where gangs are prevalent and safety is scarce. You are either a Soh Dragon or a member of Los Soldados. And there's one major rule: know your side, and stick to it. For there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed, but once they have there's no going back...

For Nash Soh and Nina Ortiz there are two sides to gang life. One wants in and the other wants out. Nash is the son of the notorious leader of the Soh Dragons, and with his ruthless older brother, Alec, inheriting the family empire upon his father's prison sentence, Nash only has one goal in mind: to become a Soh Dragon and to be the best Soh Dragon at any cost. Being one of the youngest affiliated to the set, Nash has a lot to prove, and it doesn't make it any better when the other Dragons tease him for his flashy attire and the way he carries himself, dubbing him a "pretty boy." Dragons are strong, cruel and built to reign, and for Nash, that's all he intends to do, with nobody getting in his way.

         Nina Ortiz has had her share of grief due to being affiliated with Los Soldados. The gang world has destroyed her family and left her to pick up the pieces along with her older brother and ailing grandmother. They're all she has left, and all that she'll do whatever it takes to fight for and keep afloat. Things are even tougher sharing a city with the infamous Soh Dragons. A war is brewing and Nina's not too sure she'll be able to escape the flames.

         Being from rival gangs, both Nash and Nina are mortal enemies. But all it takes is one night to change everything.

And in their triumph die,

like fire and powder

Which as they kiss consume ❞
