A tense and timely reimagining of the monarchy, with queer black love at its centre, this is whip smart storytelling of the highest order. Benjamin Dean’s reign as the King of YA fiction starts now.
The King is Dead is an astounding novel stuffed with scandal, deceit, and a stacked rogue’s gallery of royal suspects who keep you questioning until the last.
