The Fourth Cross

Patricia Horn knows how easily a young Black life can be lost to a system where truth matters less than who wins and who pays. She lived it.

When a school fight leaves a white student gravely injured, her seventeen-year-old son Tyrene finds himself at the center of forces driven by vengeance and power. The injured boy’s father, a veteran police officer determined to see Tyrene destroyed, aligns with another officer whose white supremacist beliefs run deep. Meanwhile, the chief prosecutor, nursing a personal vendetta against Tyrene’s defense attorney, sees the case as an opportunity for retribution.

Patricia survived this system once. She will not let it take her son — and she will not fight alone as allies emerge from the most unexpected places.

Yet something else moves quietly: a divine presence, older than any law written by human hands. Past wrongs have waited long enough. Through the Fourth Cross, something sacred steps into the present.

The Fourth Cross is a gripping drama of racial injustice, a mother’s fierce resolve, and a reckoning that will not be denied.
