Description
AFTER THE ARREST OF CHANCELLOR KING and the murder of his eldest son and heir, Ghost, the King family and the streets of New York City are thrown into chaos. Chancellor's older brother, Chapman, takes the opportunity to usurp the crown, breaking the line of succession and stepping over his nephew Shadow. Chapman's first act as the new king is to banish what remains of his broken family, branding them enemies of the crown. Stripped of all wealth and power, Maureen King places a seemingly impossible task on the shoulders of Shadow--to reclaim what was stolen from their family and take back the crown.
The King clan--as relentless as the heirs on the hit TV sensation Succession--are among K'wan's most memorable characters to date.

New York city council member Chancellor King and his socialite wife are regarded as modern-day royalty, but King's ambition to rise in the political world is threatened by an unambitious son and some dark family secrets.-- "Publishers Weekly, on The Reluctant King"
K'wan is exceptionally gifted at ratcheting up suspense . . . There's no denying the writer's talent for dark, gritty fiction. It's a page-turner.-- "Kirkus Reviews, on The Reluctant King"
In the sequel to The Reluctant King, Maureen, former matriarch of Manhattan's King crime family, hatches a plan to claw her way back to power after being banished to Brooklyn with her son.-- "Publishers Weekly"
Just when you think you know how this story is going to end, K'wan hits you with one of his infamous curveballs that will stop you in your tracks. The Reluctant King by K'wan is an enjoyable start to this new series and will make you anticipate the second installment.-- "Urban Reviews, on The Reluctant King"
