About This Book

In an alternate society where the dark-skinned Crosses rule over the pale-skinned Noughts, two star-crossed childhood friends struggle to maintain their bond. Against a backdrop of systemic prejudice, inequality, and violent political rebellion, their forbidden love places them in extreme danger. The narrative explores themes of systemic racism, class division, and social injustice.
