About this ebook
Marcus Vale was once a champion — powerful, disciplined, untouchable inside the boxing ring.

Now retired and living in quiet decline, Marcus receives a certified letter he cannot understand. As legal notices, buried shame, and years of carefully constructed defenses begin to close in around him, he is forced into a battle far more terrifying than anything he faced under arena lights.
