A Brooklyn crown, the Meditations by the bed, and a toppled black king on the board. The trailer for The Stoic King of New York, a novel by Stephen Scott. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/skony-trailer.mp4 20 yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/marcus.jpg Meet Marcus Aurelius — The Stoic King of New York Born with the emperor's gifts — and none of his wisdom. Crowned at twenty-two in a borough that had already decided what he'd be. He kept the Meditations by the bed and a toppled black king on the board, and told himself they agreed. Every year the arithmetic got easier. That was the part he never wrote down. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/marcus.mp4 29 2026-07-20T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/john.jpg Meet John — The Stoic King of New York The father who gave him the philosophy — and prayed he'd hear all of it. He poured drinks on Fort Hamilton Parkway and took the buy-out so his son would never need one. Marcus learned every word the man taught him. Just never the ones about what to want. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/john.mp4 24 2026-07-21T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/isabella.jpg Meet Isabella — The Stoic King of New York Her faith never wavered. It's the one thing her son could never forgive. When the diagnosis came she asked for nothing, and he sat at the bedside doing arithmetic on what he couldn't buy. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/isabella.mp4 20 2026-07-22T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/sophia.jpg Meet Sophia — The Stoic King of New York The love of his life — and the only one who saw what he was becoming. She was a lawyer before she was his, and she never asked him to leave the life. She kept a light on and waited on the bridge, to see which man came home. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/sophia.mp4 21 2026-07-28T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/sal.jpg Meet Sal — The Stoic King of New York His most loyal man — and the last one who'd tell him the truth. He held the same glass all night and never drank from it. He got his son Danny out of Brooklyn clean — the only thing he ever asked anyone for. Then he stood in the door nobody else would stand in. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/sal.mp4 24 2026-07-29T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/carlo.jpg Meet Carlo — The Stoic King of New York The rival he spared once. A mercy that came back for him. Marcus humiliated him in front of the room and called it restraint. Carlo called it a debt, and collected for years. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/carlo.mp4 19 2026-07-30T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/vincent.jpg Meet Vincent — The Stoic King of New York The old guard's right hand — who never forgot where he was seated. He measured a man by what a killing cost him. Marcus's first took eight seconds. Vincent watched the price fall after that. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/vincent.mp4 20 2026-07-31T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/tony.jpg Meet Tony — The Stoic King of New York They were boys together. The life didn't care about that. They ran the same blocks before either had a title. Then the blackout came, and Marcus let the law do what he wouldn't. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/tony.mp4 17 2026-08-01T16:00:00Z yes https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/thumbs/angelo.jpg Meet Angelo — The Stoic King of New York The patient enemy, waiting for the one door Marcus couldn't close. He never rushed. He just kept finding the gap — and the night he walked through it, he stepped over his own dead. https://thestoickingofnewyork.com/video/cast/angelo.mp4 17 2026-08-02T16:00:00Z yes
