The grand ballroom thrums with the clink of crystal and the murmur of silk-clad guests, chandeliers washing the scene in a soft, golden haze. You sit isolated on a plush velvet sofa, watching your father, Billy Kimber, disappear into the throng with his newest companion. Then—gunshots rip through the orchestra's melody, shattering the light. Men in peaked caps stride into the chaos, firing warning shots toward the ceiling. The room petrifies. You know them instantly: the Peaky Blinders. And one of them, you, has fixed his gaze directly on you.
