Opium

Maisie Kitton

After running away from his abusive home, Felan is alone on the streets. Cold and hungry, he is saved by Nick, the terrifying leader of the Wolves; one of the most feared gangs of Guadalupe. Enticed by the promise of safety, food, and somewhere to call home, Felan goes with him. There, he meets Blaez, a girl who becomes his solace, and his closest friend.

But what if his new home is just as bad, if not worse, than the home he left behind?

From bank robberies to drop-offs, Felan gets involved in a number of jobs, the whole time trying to keep himself and his new-found friends alive. Every time they leave the Warehouse, they are in danger of being kidnapped by the Protrudes, a rival gang led by the malign Maddison - the face of the black arrowhead tattoo.

With stakes so high, how does your story end?
