The Cost of Loyalty: A Soulja's Oath (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781948878029)

In a world where greed outweighs loyalty and trust is lent to no one, JUAN-JUAN and J-BO share an uncommon bond that defines the meaning of true friendship. Deeply scarred by their similarly troubled childhoods, the inseparable friends become allies who vow to watch over each other until they reach the top or until their bodies are traced in chalk. Unleashed onto the cannibal-like streets where killing becomes second nature and hustling is necessary for survival, the duo attempts to reach a level of success in the game that's reserved for only a chosen few. To reach such a lofty height, hearts will be broken, blood will be shed, and tears will stain the faces of many. Can Juan-Juan's loyalty to his homie withstand all of the traps that threaten to break their bond? Will J-Bo's love for his partna remain concrete when money and drama, women and catastrophe is thrown into the fray? Meanwhile, one of them is harboring a mind-blowing secret, while the other will encounter a situation where he is forced to make the hardest decision of his life. When THE COST OF LOYALTY becomes more than any man should be asked to bear, will these hardened gangstas honor the code, or will they fold under the pressure?
