The Kings Head - Paperback

by Kelly Frost (Author)

A fierce story of friendship, rivalry, and survival set amid London's forgotten girl gangs.

1957, London.

A gang of girls called the Kings rules the bomb-scarred streets of Finsbury Park. When Harry, their unpredictable but magnetic leader, moves to claim the territory of the rival Seven Sisters gang, the Kings know a fight is coming. Armed with flick knives and fists, they battle it out in dancehalls and on soccer fields. But as the authorities close in and conscripted boys return to reclaim what was once theirs, the Kings must decide how far they're willing to go for loyalty. Bound by fierce friendship and brutal competition, these young women will stop at nothing to carve a place for themselves in a ruthless city.
