Plot Summary
Foxes Return, Scars Revealed
Neil Josten returns to Palmetto State after a harrowing winter break, physically and emotionally battered by his time with the Ravens and Riko. His natural appearance—auburn hair and blue eyes—now marks him as his father's son, a truth he's spent years hiding. The Foxes, his found family, are shocked by his injuries and the tattoo Riko forced on his face, a mark of ownership and threat. Neil's struggle to explain his choices and the trauma he endured sets the tone for a season where secrets can no longer be hidden. The team's reactions range from anger to concern, but the underlying message is clear: Neil is no longer alone, and the Foxes are in this together, for better or worse.
Andrew's Release, Team Fractures
Andrew Minyard is released from rehab, returning to the Foxes sober for the first time in years. His presence is both stabilizing and destabilizing: he is the team's shield, but his emotional distance and unpredictable violence keep everyone on edge. The team's fractures are exposed as old wounds resurface—Aaron's resentment, Nicky's desperate optimism, and Kevin's obsession with Exy. Neil's bond with Andrew deepens, built on mutual recognition of pain and survival, but trust is hard-won. The Foxes must learn to function as a unit despite their differences, with Andrew's sobriety forcing everyone to confront uncomfortable truths about themselves and each other.
Secrets, Promises, and Pain
Neil's secrets begin to unravel as the Foxes demand honesty. The team's loyalty is tested by the violence that follows them—both from external enemies like Riko and from within, as Andrew's protective instincts turn dangerous. Neil's past, his connection to the criminal underworld, and his father's legacy threaten to destroy everything he's built. Yet, in the crucible of pain and confession, the Foxes forge new promises: to protect each other, to fight for their place, and to never let fear dictate their future. The cost of these promises is high, and not everyone is willing or able to pay it.
Healing, Tension, and Trust
As the spring season progresses, the Foxes struggle to heal—physically from their injuries and emotionally from betrayal and loss. Abby, the team's medic, becomes a lifeline, patching up wounds that run deeper than skin. The team's trust is fragile, tested by the ever-present threat of Riko and the Moriyamas. Neil and Andrew's relationship becomes a focal point, a study in boundaries, consent, and the possibility of love after trauma. The Foxes learn that healing is not linear, and that trust, once broken, must be rebuilt one small act at a time.
Enemies Gather, Allies Tested
The Foxes' success on the court draws the attention of powerful enemies. Riko and the Ravens escalate their campaign of intimidation, culminating in vandalism, threats, and violence that spill over into the Foxes' personal lives. The team's unity is tested as old alliances are questioned and new ones are forged. Neil's past catches up with him, forcing him to rely on the Foxes in ways he never imagined. The line between friend and foe blurs, and the Foxes must decide who they can trust when the stakes are life and death.
Blood on the Locker Room Floor
On Neil's birthday, the Foxes find his locker drenched in blood and a message scrawled on the wall—a chilling reminder that his enemies know exactly where to find him. The team rallies around Neil, but the incident exposes the limits of their safety and the lengths their enemies will go to break them. The administration debates Neil's place on the team, but Wymack and the Foxes stand firm. The message is clear: the Foxes are a family, and no one will be left behind, no matter the cost.
Riot, Retaliation, and Resolve
A riot at an away game becomes the crucible in which the Foxes' loyalty is tested. Neil is abducted by his father's people, forced to confront the legacy of violence and abuse that shaped him. The Foxes, battered and bruised, refuse to abandon him, demanding his return and standing up to the authorities. In captivity, Neil faces torture and the threat of death, but his will to survive—and the knowledge that he is no longer alone—gives him the strength to endure. The Foxes' resolve is unbreakable: they will fight for each other, no matter the odds.
Truths Unveiled, Bonds Forged
Rescued and hospitalized, Neil finally confesses the full truth of his identity, his father's crimes, and the danger he brings to the team. The Foxes, given the choice to cut him loose, instead choose to stand by him. The administration debates, but ultimately allows Neil to stay. The team's bonds are stronger than ever, forged in the fire of shared trauma and hard-won trust. Neil is no longer running; he is home, and the Foxes are his family.
Spring Break, Mountains and Mending
The Foxes escape to the mountains for spring break, seeking respite from the chaos and a chance to heal. Away from the pressures of Exy and the eyes of their enemies, they find moments of peace, laughter, and connection. Relationships deepen—Aaron and Katelyn, Neil and Andrew—and old wounds begin to mend. The team learns that survival is not enough; they must also learn to live, to hope, and to dream of a future beyond fear.
The Price of Survival
With the death of Kengo Moriyama, the balance of power shifts. Neil is summoned by Ichirou Moriyama, the new head of the family, and forced to bargain for his life and the lives of his friends. The price is steep: a share of his future earnings, loyalty, and the promise to never betray the family. Kevin and Jean are drawn into the deal, their fates entwined with Neil's. The cost of survival is high, but for the first time, the future is negotiable—and the Foxes have a chance to shape their own destinies.
The Queen's Gambit
Kevin, long defined by his role as Riko's second, finally breaks free. He covers his tattoo with a chess queen, symbolizing his new identity and his refusal to be anyone's pawn. The Foxes rally behind him, and the team's dynamic shifts as Kevin embraces his role as a leader. The stage is set for the final confrontation with the Ravens, and the Foxes are no longer content to play by anyone else's rules.
The Final Game Begins
The Foxes face the Ravens in the NCAA finals at Castle Evermore, the heart of their enemies' power. The stadium is packed, the world is watching, and the weight of history presses down on both teams. The game is brutal, a test of skill, will, and heart. The Foxes, once the laughingstock of the league, now stand as equals. Every play is a battle, every point a victory. The Foxes are not just fighting for a trophy—they are fighting for their right to exist, to be seen, and to be free.
Kings Fall, Foxes Rise
In a game for the ages, the Foxes defeat the Ravens, ending their reign and claiming the championship. Riko, broken and furious, lashes out, but Andrew intervenes, shattering Riko's arm and symbolically ending his rule. The Moriyamas exact their own justice, removing Tetsuji and Riko from power. The Foxes, battered but triumphant, celebrate their victory—not just on the court, but over the forces that sought to destroy them. The era of the Ravens is over; the age of the Foxes has begun.
Aftermath, Reckoning, and Freedom
In the aftermath, the Foxes face the consequences of their victory. The Moriyamas clean house, eliminating threats and securing the future. Neil is summoned to the East Tower, where Ichirou delivers judgment on the Ravens and grants Neil and his friends their freedom—at a price.

New Beginnings, Old Names
With the season over, the Foxes return home as champions. Neil, once a fugitive, is now Neil Josten in truth and law, his past finally laid to rest. The team's bonds are unbreakable, forged in adversity and sealed by love and loyalty. Andrew and Neil, scarred but healing, find peace in each other.

His transformation is symbolized by the queen tattoo he chooses, claiming his own power and agency. Kevin's journey is about learning to trust, to lead, and to believe in something beyond survival.
Dan Wilds
Dan is the Foxes' captain, a woman who has fought for everything she has. She is the team's moral center, balancing strength with empathy.

Allison's journey is about learning to forgive, to trust, and to find her place in a family she chose.
Nicky Hemmick
Nicky is the team's glue, always trying to keep the peace and lighten the mood. His optimism is a defense against the darkness that surrounds the Foxes.

Aaron Minyard

Riko Moriyama
Riko is the story's antagonist, the "King" of Exy and the Moriyama heir. His need for control, perfection, and dominance drives the violence that haunts the Foxes. Riko is both a product and a perpetrator of abuse, and his downfall is the catalyst for the Foxes' rise. He is a symbol of the old order—one that must be destroyed for something new to be born.
Plot Devices
Trauma and Found Family
The narrative is driven by the characters' traumas—abuse, violence, loss—and their attempts to survive in a world that wants to destroy them. The Foxes are a found family, bound not by blood but by choice and shared suffering. Their loyalty is tested again and again, but it is only through vulnerability and trust that they find healing. The story uses the motif of "home" and "belonging" as both a goal and a battleground, with the court serving as a sanctuary and a crucible.
Secrets, Lies, and Revelations
The plot is structured around secrets—Neil's identity, Andrew's past, Kevin's parentage—and the slow, painful process of revelation. Lies are both a means of survival and a source of isolation. The narrative uses foreshadowing, misdirection, and dramatic irony to build tension, with each revelation forcing the characters to confront their fears and make impossible choices. The final act of truth-telling is both a risk and a liberation, allowing the Foxes to claim their future.
Power, Control, and Agency
The story is a battle for agency—over bodies, names, futures. The Moriyamas, Riko, and Neil's father represent systems of control and violence. The Foxes' journey is about reclaiming power, setting boundaries, and refusing to be defined by their abusers. The use of tattoos, contracts, and games as symbols of ownership and rebellion is central. The final victory is not just on the court, but in the characters' ability to choose for themselves.
Exy as Metaphor
Exy is more than a sport; it is a metaphor for survival, identity, and transformation. The court is both a battlefield and a sanctuary, a place where the characters can be themselves and fight for something bigger. The structure of the season—practices, games, championships—mirrors the characters' internal journeys, with each match serving as a test of growth, trust, and resilience.
Cycles of Violence and Breaking Free
The narrative is haunted by cycles of violence—familial, institutional, personal. The characters are shaped by the traumas of the past, but the story is about breaking those cycles. The Foxes' refusal to abandon each other, their willingness to forgive, and their determination to build something new are acts of rebellion. The fall of the Ravens and the rise of the Foxes symbolize the possibility of change, even in the darkest of circumstances.
Analysis
The King's Men is a raw, unflinching exploration of trauma, survival, and the power of chosen family. Nora Sakavic crafts a narrative where victory is not just about winning a game, but about reclaiming agency, telling the truth, and daring to hope for a future beyond violence. The Foxes' journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit—the idea that even the most broken people can find healing in each other. The book interrogates the cost of survival, the meaning of loyalty, and the possibility of redemption. It challenges the reader to consider what it means to be free, to belong, and to love after loss. In the end, The King's Men is a story about breaking cycles, forging new paths, and choosing to live, not just survive. The Foxes' triumph is not just a win on the court, but a declaration that no one—not kings, not monsters, not the past—can dictate who they are or who they will become.
