The Street Series

Set in 1970s New York City, the Street Series follows Johnny Álvarez, a runaway fleeing trauma who finds makeshift family among street kids in a decaying tenement. What begins as survival becomes a fight for identity as Johnny gathers a crew that becomes the “Dogs of War,” a brotherhood built on loyalty, daring, and the dream of rising above the streets. Rival gangs, drugs, romance, and betrayal push Johnny toward brutal choices, forcing him to confront his past and the violence surrounding him. Across two novels, the journey is gritty, emotional, and charged with danger — a coming-of-age struggle for connection and hope in a world determined to crush both.
