Patricia Horn knows how easily a young Black life can be lost to a system where truth matters less than who wins and who pays. She lived it.

When a school fight leaves a white student gravely injured, her seventeen-year-old son Tyrene finds himself at the center of forces driven by vengeance and power. The injured boy’s father, a veteran police officer determined to see Tyrene destroyed, aligns with another officer whose white supremacist beliefs run deep. Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor, nursing a personal vendetta against Tyrene’s defense attorney, sees the case as an opportunity for retribution.

Patricia survived this system once. She will not let it take her son — and she will not fight alone as allies emerge from the most unexpected places.

Yet something else moves quietly among them—a divine presence, older than any law written by human hands. Past wrongs have waited long enough. Through the Fourth Cross, something sacred steps into the present.

The Fourth Cross is a gripping drama of racial injustice, a mother’s fierce  resolve, and a reckoning that will not be denied.
