The Syndicate Shepherd
By Marcus Blackwood
Synopsis
Every member of the Shepherd Family, a burgeoning Mafia outfit in Chicago, possesses an unnerving talent. The muscle are impossibly strong, the hackers borderline clairvoyant, and the consigliere...well, he's always five steps ahead. Vincent Shepherd, reluctantly thrust into the role of family head, discovers his true power: the ability to amplify these innate talents. Now, he must navigate the treacherous landscape of organized crime, rival gangs, and corrupt officials, all while keeping his increasingly powerful and unstable family in check. Can Vincent harness their abilities to secure his family's future, or will their combined power tear Chicago apart?
