The crown is heavy - especially when it's forged in blood.
When Monet' James's brother, Jerrell "King" James, is gunned down on 83rd Street, her life changes forever. He ruled the Southside with power and precision - and now, someone has to pick up the pieces. The streets never expected it to be her.
Thrown into a deadly game of betrayal, secrets, and war, Monet' must navigate a world built for men, where loyalty is rare and survival is earned. As enemies circle and family ties fray, she must decide: claim the throne, or die trying.
Queen of the Southside is a gritty, emotionally charged urban fiction novel about legacy, ambition, and the cost of power. Perfect for fans of Ashley & JaQuavis, Wahida Clark, and Carl Weber, this is the story of a woman who refuses to be a footnote in someone else's empire - and instead becomes the boss.
For every woman told she wasn't built for the game - this one's for you.
