Fontaino: Exclave #1

The city belongs to him. For now.

Darren Fontaino didn’t inherit Florespark’s underworld. He took it, and he keeps it the way he took it — with discipline, control, and a complete absence of mercy for anyone who mistakes his patience for weakness. He’s the man other dangerous men answer to. The hand behind half the trouble in the city. And he likes it that way.

But the ground is moving under him. Smaller crews are testing his edges. A prosecutor named Marcus Hale has made cleaning up Florespark his personal crusade — and Fontaino is the name at the top of his list. And out past the reach of the law, past the reach of even Fontaino’s network, something else has come to the city. Something that doesn’t care who runs it.

This is the crime boss finally taking center stage — a tie-in to the Exclave crossover event told from the other side of the law. The Rippaverse’s underworld in its own words, and a look at what it takes to hold an empire together when the rules of the game are about to change for everyone.
