If the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, then this journey just got a lot hotter...

Three young men's lives once collided, resulting in an unbreakable bond. And that bond will be needed when Ezran Leonov returns home. No longer the child Noah, Lawson, and Curtis knew, he's become a ruthless killer. One whose only desire is to be used as a weapon...with someone else's finger on the trigger. Except those he loves see more, buried deep within. In a place built on forgiveness and second chances, he may find he hasn't strayed too far from redemption.

But forgiveness always comes at the price of a sacrificial lamb.

To regain all The Asylum Fight Club stands for, each Core sub is plucked from his cozy sanctuary to face a challenge. Success or failure will determine whether all are strong enough, smart enough, and dedicated enough to be returned alive to the men they love. Every wrong move will be exposed, the resulting danger real. But the Core of The Asylum has a few extra pieces on the board. And a strategy that's stood up to every challenge so far.

Even with the clock running out, not a single piece will be sacrificed. Only one result will be acceptable.

Checkmate.

And this time, the winner takes all.
