RIPTIDE LEGACY CODE

Tide left The Commons a teenager. He has returned a man to a Novel City he doesn’t recognize.

East Crossing. West Crossing. The two halves of the only home he ever knew, reshaped by seven years of war he wasn’t there for. And the first thing waiting for him isn’t a welcome. It’s grief. The news that the man who helped raise him in everything but blood, the uncle who taught him what the streets were supposed to mean, is gone.

His father, Maine Waters, called him home for a reason. With Diggy gone and his killer behind bars, Maine sees an opening. A chance to finally build the better Commons he and Diggy always talked about, under a code they wrote together years ago. But running an empire and protecting a son’s innocence don’t mix easy, and Maine is learning that grief makes a dangerous architect.

Across town, Mason, the protégé Diggy left behind, isn’t waiting on anyone’s plan. He’s been tasked to finish what his mentor started, one piece at a time: taking down the man who pulled the trigger, and the powerful hands still protecting him from behind bars.

Because G-Money hasn’t lost a thing. Prison walls don’t stop him from calling shots, silencing threats, and protecting the organization that keeps him untouchable, an organization Mason is determined to expose before it buries Diggy’s legacy for good.

Tide is home. The Commons is at war. And the only thing he knows for certain is that nothing, and no one, is what he left behind.
