By S L McDonald

One icy winter night, eighteen-year-old DAVID BLAKE leaves the warmth of his aunt MAARA's home to seek employment with a neighborhood drug dealer-a ruthless hot-head by the name of JOHN GLOVER. Yet, what starts as a simple interview turns into a dangerous initiation ritual thanks to the inadvertent snubbing of a black woman by a passing cab.The innocent slight strikes a nerve in John, calling up painful memories of racism and loss. He and his cronies set out to get justice for the woman and bring a reluctant David along for the ride.

He tries to leave-an act of cowardice in John's eyes-and as a result, is carved up and gutted.David manages to survive his injuries, as do Erick and Liza. Though, what's left of them is more monster than man. Robbed of their hopes and dreams and stripped of their humanity, they plunge head first into a quest for blood. But just how far will they go for vengeance?The Wronged is a bizarre, ultra-violent revenge thriller by newcomer S. L. McDonald that begs the question: What would you become to get revenge?
