The Dancer

<p><strong>Pain was survival in Book 1. In Book 2 pain has purpose.</strong></p><p>Lucas is no longer the kid on the ropes. He's a fighter now-branded by blood betrayal and every choice he can't take back. As Rio's underground scene pulls him deeper <strong>his fists become currency-and his silence armor</strong>.</p><p>But no matter how many fights he wins the past keeps swinging back. <strong>Old wounds reopen. New enemies close in. And the cost of staying alive? It might be everything Lucas still has left.</strong></p><p><strong>A brutal emotional continuation of a fighter's journey through loyalty loss and the lies we tell ourselves to stay standing.</strong></p>
