EVERY KINGDOM EVENTUALLY GETS A BILL.

FOR MALIK CARTER, IT’S TIME TO PAY IT.

THE RISE BUILT THE KINGDOM.

THE OUTSIDE WAR CHANGED THE RULES.

NOW COMES RETRIBUTION.

Malik Carter wanted power.

But nobody warned him what it would cost to keep it.

In RETRIBUTION SEASON, everything the Southside Kings fought for is becoming painfully personal.

The enemies are closer.

The losses cut deeper.

And the crown Malik once fought to earn is becoming heavier with every name, every decision, and every consequence he has to carry.

Because power doesn’t protect you from pain.

IT GIVES YOU MORE TO LOSE.

Blood has been spilled.

Lines have been crossed.

People Malik loves are in danger.

And grief is beginning to change the man underneath the crown.

This isn’t about becoming a king anymore.

It’s about surviving what being one costs.

When grief becomes fuel.

When loyalty demands sacrifice.

When revenge starts sounding like justice.

When family becomes your greatest strength—and your greatest vulnerability.

Malik is no longer fighting simply to protect what he built.

HE’S FIGHTING TO KEEP FROM LOSING WHAT REMAINS.

But retaliation creates consequences.

Every move has a price.

Every loss leaves a scar.

And some debts can’t be paid with money.

SOME DEBTS DEMAND BLOOD.

RETRIBUTION SEASON takes the Southside Kings saga into its darkest and most emotional territory yet—a story of grief, revenge, loyalty, family, leadership, sacrifice, and the brutal cost of carrying a kingdom on your shoulders.

This is where choices become consequences.

This is where power becomes pain.

This is where a king discovers that winning and surviving are not the same thing.

WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO LOSE TO KEEP EVERYTHING YOU BUILT?

WELCOME TO RETRIBUTION SEASON.

BOOK ONE WAS THE RISE.

BOOK TWO WAS THE WAR.

BOOK THREE IS THE PRICE.

FROM SOUTH JAMAICA, QUEENS TO THE WORLD

The Southside Kings saga is now available in more than 26 countries around the world, expanding far beyond the streets where it began.

THE COMMISSION

An old-school Mafia spinoff series is in the works.

A different world of power.

A different code of loyalty.

A different kind of war.

BLOOD BINDS US. SILENCE PROTECTS US.

THE RISE GAVE THEM POWER.

THE WAR CHANGED THE RULES.

RETRIBUTION MAKES THEM PAY.

EVERY KINGDOM HAS A PRICE.

MALIK CARTER IS ABOUT TO FIND OUT WHAT HIS COSTS.
