An explosive start to the Fallen: Texas series in a mashup of Yellowstone and Sons of Anarchy, where the son of a hardass motorcycle club leader and the daughter of a cartel head spark a war between their families as they try to carve out their own destinies. Perfect for fans of Elliott Rose, Emily McIntire, and Paisley Hope.

In a small southern Texas town, there is a chapter of The Fallen MC run for generations by the Crowe family.

The current president is Pandemonium ‘Pan’ Crowe, the father of Grimm, Abaddon, Hawk, Ashes and Summer. Under his rule, the club has devolved into a disorganized, violent, and cruel chapter of society rejects without any kind of honor or love to bind them together. His eldest son, Grimm, abandons the family after his father sleeps with his high school sweetheart and marries her. Abaddon losses all sense of control and emotionality, becoming the dead-eyed angel of death enforcer for the club and Hawk tries to maintain peace and structure wherever he can without earning the wrath of his father. Ashes and Summer are the youngest children, barely out of their teens and struggling to find a place in a toxic club where he is ignored and she is constantly mistreated.

When Ashes is finally given the opportunity to go on a run with the club down to Mexico to pick up and transport product for the Ventura Cartel, he thinks it is time to prove his worth. Only, when they arrive at the facility, he sees a woman chained up on the porch like a beaten animal, cowering and covered in bruises, and he knows the only impulse he can follow is the one telling him to save the girl no matter the cost. When Ashes kidnaps Inés for her own safety, he unwittingly starts a war with the Ventura cartel and with his own father.

Ines is the rebellious daughter of the head of the Ventura cartel, exiled and abused for going against her family and refusing an arranged marriage. She's kept herself alive, holding on to what spirit she can. Then she's kidnapped by him...Ashes.

Together, Ashes and Ines start a war between two of the most ruthless men around. And their chemistry is undeniable, and their growing affection for one another may be the only way they can survive the potential violences of both of their families.
