Shahriar believes he was born in the wrong time.

All he’s ever wanted is to love and be loved, but 1895 London doesn’t offer him the freedom to be his true self, and Oscar Wilde’s trial for gross indecency has only reaffirmed that.

But one night—and one writer—will grant Shahriar what he’s always wished for: the opportunity to live in a time and place where he can love freely.

Oliver finds freedom and acceptance in the secret queer community at Harvard that his cousin introduces him to.

When he meets a mysterious boy with eyes as warm as a flame, his life is irrevocably changed, forever.
