After a successful revolt in 1846 that reversed the roles of slaves and masters, modern-day America is now dominated by a wealthy, black ruling class and whites are dealing with decades of oppression and prejudice.

When his father, a civil rights attorney, is killed after defending a white man, seventeen-year-old Willie Gibbons is forced to move to Michigan with his uncle and thrust into the heart of the racial divide.

The search for his father's killer lands Willie on the wrong side of a powerful and shadowy black supremacist group known as The Crown, a dangerous place for any man--black or white.

The Crown Lord is a stark and jarring look at race, class, and the American Dream that will keep readers on edge.

Industry Reviews

The Crown Lord, besides being a boldly written political thriller, is an important reflection on the genesis of racial animus in America. William Sirls has created a new optic on prejudice and bigotry and their relationship to power, economics, and human ego. Everyone who has unanswered questions and unaddressed concerns about racial equity must read this thrilling novel.
--Louis Gossett Jr., Academy Award winner, and author of An Actor and a Gentleman

This is a book that will keep readers on the edge of their seats and wanting more.
--San Francisco Book Review

An 'alternate universe' what if novel, The Crown Lord is the kind of dystopian novel that is as thoughtful and thought-provoking as it is engaging and entertaining...
--Midwest Book Review

At a time when racial tensions continue to be stoked for political gain, we need books like The Crown Lord more than ever: to ask hard questions, to encourage reflection, and to remind us of our similarities.
