In the power circles of the movers and shakers, they are regarded as modern-day royalty. A politically connected father, a socialite mother, and three promising children: they look every bit the all-American family . . . but every family has secrets. Some darker than others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf all the children, Shadow is the least like the rest of the Kings. To call him soft wouldn't be quite accurate, but he lacks the leadership qualities of his older brother, Ghost, or the ruthless tendencies of his sister Lolli. Shadow is just . . . Shadow. Instead of accepting his role in the \"Monarchy\" created by his father, Shadow would rather spend his days chasing women and hanging out in the hood with his best friends, Fresh and Pain. He is totally oblivious to the perils that come with his last name--until danger introduces itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the night of their mother's fiftieth birthday gala, their father, Chancellor, is set to announce his plans to turn his political focus beyond his current position as a member of the city council. He has tasted the benefits that come with holding office, and has the power and influence to make a serious run at climbing the political ladder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe future is looking bright for the King family. That is, until the devil comes to claim his due, and threatens to destroy everything Chancellor has worked to build. To survive the coming storm, each member of the royal family will have to make a sacrifice, even those who are reluctant to wear the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eK'wan is the best-selling, award-winning author of more than thirty novels, including the wildly popular Animal series, \u003cem\u003eBlack Lotus\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBlack Lotus 2: The Vow, \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGangsta\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRoad Dawgz\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eStreet Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHoodlum\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSection 8\u003c\/em\u003e.
