Description

When the spotlight dims, the real battles begin.

For Tristen Levisay, guitarist of The Seethers, life is finally coming together. The band is on the brink of stardom, and soon he'll be a rock star instead of the poor, small-town boy from Kentucky. But when his twin brother Talon, the band's frontman, abruptly leaves to join another band, Tristen's life quickly falls apart.

Forced to start again, Tristen returns home where he discovers his former addict mother is on the verge of losing her house. To save her, and himself, he returns to his old life of underground boxing. Just a few fights to save some money, and then he’s out. But returning home inevitably means revisiting old family secrets and memories. Soon Tristen finds himself fighting both in and out of the ring to salvage his family and reclaim his future.

BENDED LOYALTY is a powerful story of betrayal, resilience, and the mendable bonds of family. As Tristen navigates the shadows of the boxing world, he learns the age-old adage that true loyalty comes with a price.

Will he find the strength to forge a new path, or will the weight of his brother's betrayal knock him down for good?

When the spotlight dims, the real battles begin.

For Tristen Levisay, guitarist of The Seethers, life is finally coming together. The band is on the brink of stardom, and soon he'll be a rock star...

Guitars, Gloves & Grit—Rock Bottom Never Sounded So Good

Bended Loyalty packs an emotional punch harder than Tristen's right hook, slamming you into a gritty, soul-searching journey of family drama, betrayal, and second chances that totally rocked my world.

Bended Loyalty is a gritty, emotional journey that follows Tristen Levisay, a rising rock guitarist whose life unravels when his brother walks out on their band. The story really shines in how it balances the intensity of underground boxing with the vulnerability of fractured family bonds. I appreciated how raw and real Tristen’s struggle felt—he’s not just fighting for survival, he’s fighting for something worth believing in again. I got fully pulled into his world and found myself rooting for him the whole way through.

Betrayal, bruises, and a big ol’ guitar solo of EMOTION—this book hits like a knockout punch and a power ballad at the same time! 💥 I devoured Bended Loyalty because Tristen is the kinda guy you want to hug, slap, and cheer for all at once. His world crumbles faster than a hotel room after a rock show, and instead of quitting, he dives back into the ring like a total beast. If you love messy families, underground grit, and a comeback story with HEART, this one’s got your name all over it. 🎶🥊💔
