Book One of The Corner Legacy Series By Doetown Wilson He was born with D1 talent—but the streets called louder than the crowd. Darius “Reek” Carter had the game to make it out of Little Rock. But when his brother Dante gets murdered, Reek trades jump shots for Glocks, loyalty for blood, and turns his pain into power. What starts as revenge becomes a business—fast cars, cash flow, and the kind of respect that only fear can buy. With his crew—Tray, Melo, and Nolo—Reek builds an empire from the concrete up. But every corner comes with pressure. Cass, the Texas supplier, wants control. Crooked cops want payback. And the woman he loves, Kelis, forces him to choose between the streets that raised him and the life he’s fighting to build. In a city where loyalty ain’t free and betrayal comes wrapped in friendship, Reek must decide: Will he die a soldier of the streets—or live a king of his own empire? CONCRETE ROOTS is a gritty urban fiction drama packed with real emotion, southern street politics, and raw authenticity. Fans of Teri Woods, Ashley & JaQuavis, and Donald Goines will feel right at home in Reek’s world of loyalty, money, and survival.
