False Idols

Written by K'wan

Narrated by Cary Hite

When the patriarch Chancellor King gets dethroned, the “monarchy” of New York City’s Five Points falls into disarray, giving way to a bloody battle for the crown

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.
