Life Restrictions

Some wars don't end on the battlefield. They follow you home.

After a career-ending injury leads to an honorable discharge, Madison Mitchell finds himself adrift in a world he no longer recognizes. Forced to navigate a lethal underworld to protect his only remaining family, he discovers that the ghosts of his past are just as dangerous as the enemies he left behind.

For thirteen years, Staff Sergeant Madison Mitchell lived by a strict code: protect the men beside you at all costs. But when a catastrophic IED ambush in the Middle East leaves his brothers-in-arms dead and his own body shattered, Madison is medically discharged into a civilian world he no longer recognizes.

Haunted by survivor’s guilt, Madison just wants peace. But peace is a luxury the streets won't allow. When his fiercely loyal but volatile brother, Steven, triggers a deadly chain of events, Madison is dragged into a brutal, unforgiving underworld. Forced to cross every moral line to protect his only remaining family, Madison realizes that the civilian rules of engagement have fundamentally changed.

Then, just as the dust begins to settle, a ghost from the past reaches out. A meticulously planted lockbox. A cryptic photograph. A chilling phone call in the dead of night. Madison's reality is blown apart when he learns a horrifying truth: the explosion that killed his team wasn't an act of war. It was a targeted assassination. And the people who ordered it haven't finished the job.

Narrowly surviving a lethal, precision strike from an unseen hunter, Madison realizes he is no longer just a discharged Marine, he is prey. But they picked the wrong man to hunt. Armed with his combat instincts, a thirst for vengeance, and a single, damaged clue left behind in the dark, Madison must travel back to where it all began: New Orleans.

Life Restrictions is an explosive, pulse-pounding thriller that dives deep into the gray areas of morality, the heavy price of brotherhood, and the scars of combat trauma. It proves that the deadliest enemies aren't always the ones wearing an opposing uniform, sometimes, they are the ones hunting you from the shadows.
