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. Of 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. On 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. The 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Socialites $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Street life $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Urban fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Thrillers (Fiction) $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Book of shadow ; $v 1. 941 $a 9 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021722.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031045.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909065247.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220706023146.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014653.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20211203011755.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20211106010149.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211002010816.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210923010153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87B3E8801C3311ECA7A5583349ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
