New York City, 1987. Santana Velez has the talent to be a star. When she’s scouted by a rising record producer, it seems like her dream of breaking into the music business is finally within reach.
​
But behind the flashing lights and pulsing 1980s dance beats lies a deadly underworld of drugs, corruption, and murder. When her gang-affiliated brother steals from a powerful criminal syndicate, Santana is forced to navigate a treacherous maze of crooked cops, violent enforcers, and predatory power players just to keep herself and her loved ones alive. As bodies pile up and betrayal cuts close to home, Santana must choose: walk away from her dream or use it to expose a conspiracy that reaches all the way to the steps of The White House.
​
BREAK OF NIGHT is a gripping, high-stakes urban thriller, a nail-biting tale of revenge and redemption.
​
There’s no telling how far you’ll go, when there's nothing left to lose.

Bio

Damian Wild is a native New Yorker, born and raised. Like Santana Velez, the protagonist in Break of Night, Damian has been a dance music recording artist and ASCAP songwriter, giving him an insider’s perspective on the music industry he writes about. Unlike his protagonist, however, he hasn’t (yet) attempted to take down a cartel.
​
When he's not writing, reading, or immersed in music, Damian is likely to be found diving into his vast film collection. He has a particular fondness for horror, especially gloriously bad 1980s slashers—the kind where everyone makes the worst possible choices, much like some of the characters he writes about.
​
Break of Night is his debut novel.
