In Santa Monica, the Salter family has long lived by one rule: don't bother the lion unless he comes to you. Johnny and Benny have always trained under their father's exacting guidance, mastering skills meant to protect, not provoke. But when tragedy strikes and Daniel Salter is taken from them, the brothers find themselves thrust into a world of danger far beyond the dojo.
Suddenly, every ally and adversary carries weighty consequences. The Salter boys must defend their family's legacy, confront a shadowy network determined to seize power, and navigate a city teetering on the edge of chaos. With strategy, skill, and unyielding resolve, Johnny and Benny fight to protect everything-and everyone-they hold dear.
Lion's Den is a taut, adrenaline-fueled story of martial arts, family loyalty, and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

Lion's Den is a dynamic thriller that bursts at the seams with excitement and action. The respect and research poured into martial arts techniques and the precision in describing their execution are evident throughout. - The Independent Book Review
Lion's Den by Neil Citrin is a YA coming-of-age story that combines action and drama. The book focuses on the boys' daily lives after their father's death instead of rushing past it. - Readers' Favorite
Lion's Den will speak most strongly to readers who enjoy character-driven speculative fiction, especially stories that blend family loyalty, civic conflict, and martial arts into one narrative line. It's earnest, steady, and deeply invested in the moral choices its characters face. - Literary Titan
