My brother was my best friend, my example, my savior. Against bullies, against the world, he was my shield and my armour. Until he wasnโt.
When I give him my final salute during his funeral, I come face to face with the horrifying truthโhis death was no accident. So when the time comes, I cash in on his scholarship and make it my own.
The brotherhood of the Alpha Fraternarii is, according to legend and rumor, a community for the rich and privileged.
Surrounded by my brotherโs belongings, Iโm ready to take Damienโs killer down.
But I donโt expect to meet ๐ฉ๐ช๐ฎ.
Gaรซl is privileged, inspiring and breathtaking.
And he wants me. Gaรซl teaches me to touch, to cherish, to love. He encourages me to think, to feel, to desire.
He makes me See. It. All.
WHAT TO EXPECT:

Dark academia
Secret brotherhood
