Summary
"Fatherhood is a precious gift, Arthur. Live a life your son will be proud of." Hosea's words solidified Arthur's decision to leave the gang; but when he returns to Eliza and Isaac, he's too late. He returns to the gang a broken man, the ghosts of Eliza and his son lingering in every shadow. And when Jack gets kidnapped by the Braithwaite woman—shipped off to Saint Denis—they find not one lost son, but two in the big city.
--
A story of how grief and tragedy shaped Arthur, of misguided loyalty in a leader, of a man reuniting with a son he thought dead, of Arthur protecting his son—his family—from the man who raised him.
