Family of Fire (The Five Families #1)

After his brother is murdered, twenty-six year old Luca finds himself at the end of a rope in Prohibition-era Chicago. Jobless, broke, and with no family left to speak of, he receives an offer he can’t refuse: to join the Maranzanos, one of the five mafia families in the city.

But things are not quite as they seem in the world of crime. Gangsters wield mystical power and battles are sometimes fought entirely unseen. The nearly wiped out Toscani family seeks revenge for the slaughter of their relatives, and their combined efforts could bring about the return of a dark element called The Void. The heads of the other families, known as the Dons, are compelled to fight to stop its emergence.

The threads of time become twisted and lives become unknowingly entangled as the criminals of Chicago come to grips with their fate.
