Perfect for you if...

  • You love morally grey characters who operate outside the law and want to understand their psychology rather than judge them.
  • You're drawn to crime stories where the emotional stakes matter more than the plot mechanics, and where trauma shapes everything.
  • You appreciate queer relationships explored with tenderness and complexity, especially found family bonds that run deeper than blood.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer straightforward crime procedurals with clear heroes and villains and tidy resolutions.
  • You want escapism rather than psychological complexity, or you find extended introspection exhausting.
  • You're looking for action-driven plots. This is slow-burn character study that prioritises internal conflict over external thrills.

About this book

Fanis is a young police officer who enforces the law with precision by day, but at night pursues his own form of justice beyond the reach of the system. He grew up neglected by those meant to protect him, and carries the wounds of that childhood even as an adult. Fanis is both tender and merciless, protecting and punishing in equal measure. Beneath his composed exterior lives the boy he once was—one who waited for rescue and never stopped seeking love. A man who became like a father to him anchors his life, offering both lifeline and threat. When buried truths emerge, Fanis's private world collides with those he loves. An investigation closes in, forcing him to choose between the love that could heal him and the "justice" he believes he owes the world. The novel follows his inner struggle with memory, duty, desire, and pain—a journey where moral boundaries blur and nothing remains simple. It explores a fractured soul caught between redemption and destruction.
