Noah Harwood is the undisputed God of War of Northvale and the youngest Kingpin in its military history. After spending eight years away from home, he returns only to find his adoptive family wiped out. Consumed by grief and rage, Noah abandons everything and heads back to his hometown of Middleton to uncover the truth.
What he does not expect is that the tragedy of the Harwood family has completely reshaped the balance of power in Middleton. Surrounded by powerful families and caught in the schemes of a mysterious force lurking behind the scenes, Noah refuses to back down. While helping his widowed sister-in-law, Diane Whitmore, rebuild the Harwood family business, he also takes care of Sadie Harwood, the illegitimate daughter left behind by his adoptive father.
As he rises from despair to become an undefeated war god once more, Noah lives by one rule: anyone who harms his family and friends dies, and anyone who crosses his line is cut down without mercy.
