The war didn’t end. It evolved. In the heart of Houston’s 44, the bloodline is fractured, the streets are watching, and the silence between gunshots is louder than ever. Dee stands at the center of it all — protector, strategist, and reluctant heir to a legacy soaked in betrayal. As the family reels from Red’s latest strike, old secrets resurface, alliances shift, and the walls of the house no longer feel safe. Kayla’s mind is sharp, but her heart is heavy. Corey’s loyalty is tested. Bev’s prayers grow louder. Aunt Jane holds the line with wisdom and grace. Bobbi Jr is ready for war. And the snitch — broken, trembling, unraveling — may hold the final key to Red’s next move. But this isn’t just about survival anymore. It’s about legacy. Who gets to write it. Who gets to protect it. And who gets erased from it. Garden City 44: The Legacy is Book Four in Cece Vance’s explosive urban fiction series — a cinematic, emotionally raw journey through loyalty, blood, and the cost of silence. The final chapter ends with a bang. But the real war begins in Book Five.
