Johnny and Benny have always trained under their father’s exacting guidance, mastering skills meant to protect, not provoke. But when tragedy strikes and Daniel Salter is taken from them, the brothers find themselves thrust into a world of danger far beyond the dojo.

Advance Praise

"Author Neil Citrin writes with real conviction about family, discipline, and belief, and that conviction gives the novel its engine. [...] Lion’s Den will speak most strongly to readers who enjoy character-driven speculative fiction, especially stories that blend family loyalty, civic conflict, and martial arts into one narrative line. It’s earnest, steady, and deeply invested in the moral choices its characters face. I would recommend it most to readers who like dystopian fiction that stays close to the heart, as well as to anyone interested in stories about brothers, inheritance, and the hard work of deciding what kind of person to be after loss." - Reader's Favorite
