The streets of South Jamaica, Queens, never sleep- and neither do the men who rule them. After surviving betrayal and bloodshed, Malik Carter thought the worst was behind him. But when old enemies resurface and new alliances form, the game flips upside down. This isn't just a fight for power anymore- it's a war for survival. From Roosevelt Exit 21 to Queens backstreets & Kingston's shadowed corners, Malik finds himself caught between loyalty, revenge, and the haunting cost of his rise. Every decision has a body count. Every move draws him deeper into the outside war- a battle not just against his rivals, but against the darkness inside himself. Southside Kings is the explosive first installment in a gripping five book series that explores loyalty, betrayal, and ambition in the raw heart of urban America. It's a cinematic journey through pain, power, and purpose- where the crown is heavy, but the hunger to wear it never fades.
