When his older brother gets gunned down, 14-year-old Junius Posey puts down the weed he's pushing and grips a gun for the first time.

As he makes his way into the Rindge Towers, a territory of vicious drug dealers, Junius is forced to defend his best friend—to deadly effect. Now there's no going back.

Shocked by the violence he's created and determined to see his quest through to its end, he pushes ever farther into the towers to find a woman known as "The Oracle." While Junius, two rival crews, and the police all move toward a final confrontation within the hallways and stairwells of these low-income towers, a series of surprising events and shifting loyalties transform the day into a bloody turning point that no one could ever expect.

Young Junius is the thrilling prequel to Seth Harwood's bestseller Jack Wakes Up.
