The Shadows of Afton

Shattering the boundaries of a traditional romance, this book shifts the narrative focus to the darkest corners of the UTR. The story centers on Danny's younger brother, Kian, the once-untouchable King of Afton High, and a gentle, musically gifted boy named Mikael.

Set against the backdrop of the brutal and archaic Afton Code, the boys must navigate a deeply homophobic and oppressive society where their hidden relationship is punishable by death.

Moving away from the capital's political elite, this harrowing and intensely personal ensemble epic explores systemic abuse, toxic legacies, and the tragic, violent cost of finding love in a territory ruled by ruthless men.
