August the 18th
Everyone remembers the killers. No one remembers the victims. August the 18th stands to change all that.
Comprised of ex-military and off-duty officers who have lost all faith in the constitution, every man of August the 18th has lost a loved one to the fangs of the Pierce Syndicate. With the cutthroat Eliza Christie serving as commander, August the 18th finally takes center stage to cause disruption and destruction in the intricate world of organized crime. This of course, starts with raiding a notorious casino, exposing a corrupt superintendent and rescuing a political prisoner from a Haitian hit squad.

About the author
Rock Kitaro
20 books2 followersDrawn to morally complicated characters and cinematic storytelling, Rock Kitaro's work combines character-driven drama with vivid worldbuilding and highly choreographed action, reflecting influences from history, mythology, film, and the Byronic tradition.
Kitaro is the author of *The Perennial War of Paramours* and *The Knights with No Lords: The One Called Gawain*, an Arthurian fantasy that returns to the years before Camelot, when Arthur's kingdom was still uncertain and the men destined to become legends had not yet decided what—or whom—they were willing to fight for.
For Kitaro, the most interesting characters have never been the ones that history decided to promote as the faces of an era. The most interesting characters are the ones history wants you to forget.
They're the unspoken heroes, the ones holding others up to the spotlight.

Eliza Christie is a far cry from your stereotypical heroine. Spiteful, vindictive, quick to resort to violence and will easily backhand the slightest form of insubordination.
She's a hypocrite. She knows it and doesn't care. Those who follow her fully acknowledge that her desire for vengeance is selfish and childish. Yet they follow her down a path of blood because they've lost faith in patience. They've lost faith in empty promises and groundless declarations. If death and destruction is what it takes to pave the way for change for better or worst...August the 18th will be right there on the front lines showing the world how it should be done.
