Urban Tales: The Mercers Book One

Southern Heights, known as Southside, is legendary for it's notorious kingpins, needle pushers, high-profile crimes, poverty stricken households, elevated teen pregnancy rate, high school dropouts, and front page worthy drug lords. But to the Mercer's, it's known as home.

Urban Tales is a series created by Mercy B that depicts the lives of four brothers - Nieem, Navee, Nylam, and Lodie - who reigns supreme from corner to corner of their poverty infested projects. Southside is where they sold their first piece of stolen goods, hit their first piece of pussy, and even caught their first body. No deed goes undone, no stone unturned, and not a thing is deemed off limits when the Mercer's are involved -with the exception of their most beautiful treasure, Laitleigh.

Laitleigh is the younger sister of four overbearing brothers who are set on her success. While she's grateful for their leadership and protection, she yearns to seek the benefits and misfortunes of Southside with her own eyes. Determined to spread her wings, she embarks on a life of independency and sworn secrecy. Laitleigh breaks the barriers of involuntary confinement and uncovers a life of sex, drugs, and money that she's too enthralled with to return to the fairytale life that was designed for her at the hands of her brothers.

Urban Tales is a riveting yet comforting story based in the mid-90s that will touch the depths of your soul and keep the brim of your brain buzzing.
