The Black Ivy League: Secrets Worth Dying For: Volume 1

By: Mike Mose

When three best friends return to Crown City for Homecoming weekend, they expect parties, nostalgia, and redemption, not a conspiracy buried beneath the streets of their beloved HBCU. Eliyas Kross, a social work graduate turned reluctant hero, comes home searching for peace and purpose but is pulled into a storm of corruption, betrayal, and buried truth. Kwame Obasi, a filmmaker guided by conviction, becomes the team's conscience and storyteller, documenting a city that wants its secrets to stay hidden. Roman Bishop, a hustler chasing success and validation, believes he can outsmart the system until loyalty becomes the only thing keeping him alive.

When a respected professor is found dead after exposing financial trails that connect the mayor's office to a covert project known as The Crown Initiative, the trio is thrown into a dangerous game of politics, survival, and truth. What begins as a homecoming celebration turns into a battle for the city's identity as they uncover a redevelopment plan disguised as progress. Behind the polished speeches and charity funds lies a movement of gentrification, data manipulation, and control designed to erase culture and community in the name of power.

As danger closes in, the friends must rely on one another to survive the chaos they never saw coming. From abandoned tunnels and storm-soaked streets to boardrooms and back alleys, they risk everything to protect the evidence that could expose those who rule the city from the shadows. The Black Ivy League: Secrets Worth Dying For is a thrilling story of friendship, ambition, and the high price of truth. When legacy is stolen and loyalty is tested, homecoming becomes more than a reunion. It becomes a revolution.
