Description
He will teach you the lesson. . .
. . . he knows you’re dying to learn.
Legion is a teacher. An avenging angel. A murderer. A madman. Raised in the underground hideout of an insane father, he searches for those who keep secrets and sins. Then he teaches them how to leave those mistakes behind. Even if it means killing them to do it. Because sometimes murder is the cost of a proper education. That's why, when he comes to a neighborhood in the grips of a vicious gang war, he knows the time has come to teach. Soon Legion - and his imaginary brothers, Water and Fire - are caught in the middle of a vicious fight for control of the Downs, the worst part of a city on the verge of anarchy. Legion is facing enemies on all sides. Hundreds of men will stop at nothing to capture or kill him. Legion will teach the lessons. And the students will never forget, no matter how long - or short - their lives may be. The students are ready. And the teacher will never stop. . .
