Gossip Girl but make it royal – a Black LGBTQ+ royal reimagining full of scandalous secrets, rollercoaster romances and one hell of a mystery, from the award-winning author Benjamin Dean.
James has been a prince all his life, and since he was born, he’s been thrust into the spotlight as the first Black heir to the throne. But when his father dies unexpectedly, James is crowned king at the tender age of seventeen, and his life irrevocably changes.
When James’ boyfriend suddenly goes missing, threatening envelopes appear in the palace, and gossip and scandals that only he knows are leaked to the public. As the anonymous informant continues to expose every last skeleton in the royal closet, James realises even those in his inner circle can’t be trusted.

from the sky and disrupts everything Zed thought he knew. Because

From award-winning author Benjamin Dean comes a deliciously dark
and addictive YA thriller following the lives of Gen Z’s rich and
famous through the lens of an undercover teen journalist. Perfect
for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is
Lying. 'This [book] has "Netflix adaptation" written all
over it.' The Bookseller  London-born Abel has landed the
role of a lifetime for an upcoming blockbuster. On the face of it
he’s Hollywood’s latest teen star, but below the surface he’s
an undercover journalist on a mission to expose the ‘squeaky
clean’ entertainment industry and the part they played in his
brother’s ‘accidental’ death. As Abel steps into the
spotlight alongside fellow actors Lucky, Ryan and Ella, he soon
discovers that beneath the glittering surface of fame and riches
lies a darker world of secrecy, scandal and murder. Nobody is who
they seem when the cameras are off, and everybody has something to
hide. But who’s next in line to die famous? Â
Drawing on his previous career as a celebrity journalist, Benjamin
Dean examines the dark underbelly of showbiz, leaving no stone
unturned. PRAISE FOR BENJAMIN DEAN’S THE KING IS DEAD:

Dean is YA royalty.’ Femi Fadugba, author of The Upper
World ‘Addictive, compelling, and utterly

WINNER OF THE DIVERSE BOOK AWARDS 2022. A rainbow-filled, JOYOUS
debut from a hugely exciting new talent. Perfect for 9+ readers and
fans of Elle McNicoll, Lisa Thompson and Onjali Rauf's The Boy at
the Back of the Class. My name's Archie Albright, and I know two
things for certain: 1. My mum and dad kind of hate each other, and
they're not doing a great job of pretending that they don't
anymore. 2. They're both keeping a secret from me, but I can't
figure out what. Things aren't going great for Archie Albright. His
dad's acting weird, his mum too, and all he wants is for everything
to go back to normal, to three months before when his parents were
happy and still lived together. When Archie sees a colourful,
crumpled flyer fall out of Dad's pocket, he thinks he may have
found the answer. Only problem? The answer might just lie at the
end of the rainbow, an adventure away. Together with his best
friends, Bell and Seb, Archie sets off on a heartwarming and
