Overview

Ashes and Honor The fire didn't end the war. It revealed it. In the aftermath of a funeral turned battlefield, the Fuse stands bloodied but unbroken. What was once a brotherhood forged in loyalty and shared scars is now a target-watched, infiltrated, and tested by forces that don't need to announce themselves to destroy everything in their path. As Joker tightens control and pulls the Fuse inward, old alliances fracture and new truths surface. A shadow network called ASH begins to move through the cracks-quiet, deliberate, and devastating-exposing secrets that were never meant to survive daylight. Every burned chapter, every lost brother, every stolen truth forces Joker to confront a question no leader escapes forever: What does honor cost when survival demands sacrifice? Enemies no longer come only from outside the circle. Betrayal wears familiar faces. Legacy becomes leverage. And the past-long buried in smoke, blood, and silence-refuses to stay dead. With war expanding beyond borders and loyalty measured in consequences instead of words, Joker must decide whether the Fuse can remain a brotherhood... or if it must become something far more ruthless to survive what's coming. Ashes and Honor is a relentless crime thriller about loyalty under fire, leadership paid for in blood, and the moment when survival and morality stop traveling the same road. Because when everything burns, honor is the only thing left worth fighting for.

Author Information

Brad ""Joker"" Barnes is the author of The Whiskey Files, a gritty ten-book crime-thriller saga rooted in the American South. His work blends Southern noir, outlaw justice, faith, loyalty, and the hard consequences of power into stories driven by brotherhood and blood-bound oaths.Known for his raw, cinematic style and unapologetic realism, Barnes writes characters who live by their word, settle debts face-to-face, and understand that redemption always comes at a cost. His novels pull from lived experience, regional grit, and a deep respect for those who stand their ground when the world turns hostile.When he's not writing, Barnes is building the Whiskey Files universe across books, music, and live events-always with the same rule: keep it honest, keep it dangerous, and never break the oath.
