A neighborhood that teaches boys early that violence speaks louder than intelligence.Morgan refuses that lesson.Brilliant, disciplined, and quietly dangerous when pushed, Morgan channels his pain into purpose. Guided by a former Marine turned counselor, he builds a future through academics, business instincts, and an underground comic strip called Block Immortal—about a Black hero who saves his community not with superpowers, but with strategy, discipline, and moral code.Accepted into Harvard, Morgan enters a world that tests not only his intellect, but his identity. While balancing elite academics, growing creative recognition, and a relationship with an ambitious political powerhouse named Ayanna, Morgan must prove that a young Black man can be intellectual, masculine, and uncompromising without selling his soul.Real Kings Do Real Things is a powerful, grounded coming-of-age novel about ownership, legacy, discipline, and redefining what strength looks like in a world built to misunderstand Black men.This is not a story about escape.It’s a story about elevation.A story about building instead of destroying.A story about becoming the man your younger self needed to see.Because real kings don’t chase crowns.They build kingdoms.
