Genesis Taylor has rebuilt his empire from the ashes, but the ghosts of his past still haunt him—none more devastating than the presumed death of his only son, Amir. While mourning turns to vengeance, Genesis rallies his closest allies—Supreme, Nico Carter, Precious, and his young protégé Caleb—for an all-out war against Maverick McClay, the ruthless rival who abducted Amir and ignited a bloody chain reaction. But the deeper Genesis dives into retribution, the more unstable the battlefield becomes, as betrayal lurks even among those he trusts most.
As the body count rises, shocking secrets unravel. Justina, Amir’s grieving widow, finds herself torn between rekindled passion and deceptive new alliances. Pilar returns to Houston to settle her own unfinished score. And when a cryptic ransom demand suggests Amir might still be alive, Precious risks everything to uncover the truth. With the lines between loyalty and survival blurring, Genesis must outwit enemies both old and new—including Maverick’s unpredictable enforcer Riot Mercer. In a world where trust is lethal and silence is never empty, Genesis will learn that the dead don't always stay buried—and some ghosts don’t haunt… they hunt.

Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author S. A. Cosby returns with King of Ashes, a Godfather-inspired Southern crime epic and dazzling family drama.
When eldest son Roman Carruthers is summoned home after his father’s car accident, he finds his younger brother, Dante, in debt to dangerous criminals and his sister, Neveah, exhausted from holding the family—and the family business—together. Neveah and their father, who run the Carruthers Crematorium in the run-down central Virginia town of Jefferson Run, see death up close every day. But mortality draws even closer when it becomes clear that the crash that landed their father in a coma was no accident and Dante’s recklessness has placed them all in real danger.
Roman, a financial whiz with a head for numbers and a talent for making his clients rich, has some money to help buy his brother out of trouble. But in his work with wannabe tough guys, he’s forgotten that there are real gangsters out there. As his bargaining chips go up in smoke, Roman realizes that he has only one thing left to offer to save his brother: himself, and his own particular set of skills.
Roman begins his work for the criminals while Neveah tries to uncover the long-ago mystery of what happened to their mother, who disappeared when they were teenagers. But Roman is far less of a pushover than the gangsters realize. He is willing to do anything to save his family. Anything.
Because everything burns.
