Concrete Gods: The Pit (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232356217)

In the Flats, power don't get handed to you - you bleed for it.

Nyx Vargas never asked to run a corner. She never asked to be feared. She just wanted her abuela's meds paid and a life that didn't choke her every time she breathed. But one night on a rooftop - a cold deal gone sideways, a friend in danger, and a broken bottle in her hand - everything changes.

What starts as survival turns into something sharper. Colder. A rise the streets weren't ready for.

When Nyx takes her first corner, she learns fast:
Respect is rented. Fear is owned. Loyalty is a lie waiting to crack.

With Kiko at her side, Ghost guarding the wires, Rico watching the shadows, and Doc cooking up the product that keeps the block addicted, Nyx builds something the Flats hasn't seen in years - an empire with teeth.

But the higher she climbs, the more the city pushes back.
A crooked syndicate boss wants her under his thumb.
A relentless detective wants her under the ground.
And the hood she grew up in? They want to know if this girl from the rooftop is really built for war... or just another name headed for a chalk line.

Bodies drop. Corners shift. Betrayals hit close enough to bruise.
Nyx learns fast that power ain't freedom - it's hunger.
And the more she feeds it, the more it wants.

This is the story of how a nobody from the Flats becomes the most dangerous woman in the streets.
This is the birth of the Blood Queen.

Welcome to the rise of Nyx.
