The Weight of Fire: A Story of Guilt, Grace and Second Chances

A killer seeking redemption. A city that won’t forget.

Marcus “Red” Delaney was once the most feared man in the streets—an enforcer for a brutal crime syndicate. But after a tragic mistake leaves a child dead, Marcus disappears from the underworld, consumed by guilt.

Years later, he reemerges with a new mission: to atone for the lives he destroyed by saving the ones still in danger. But redemption doesn’t come easy. Old enemies, broken communities, and the ghosts of his past all stand in the way.

The Weight of Fire is a gritty, emotional story of guilt, grace, and second chances. For readers who believe that even the worst among us can choose to do right—if they’re willing to carry the weight.
