Summary
After sustaining injuries during a relief mission far from Wyndham, Griffith is obliged to recuperate in the manor of a wealthy southern General. Guts has little choice but to dive headfirst along side him into a world of decadent lies, political machinations and hard, bitter truths. Bathed in the oppressive heat of their first southern summer, passions and tempers flare between them, their friendship growing into something more. Trauma, self-denial, secrets and shameful desires abound as Guts struggles in the wake of his friend's ambition, and whispers of madness fill Griffith's head with prophetic visions of a dark and glorious future.
Excerpt:
Guts had asked Griffith many years before if he was queer. Griffith had just smiled at him. It wasn’t a yes, or a no, but something akin to the amused look a parent bestows on a child trying to oversimplify something too complex for them to understand. The young swordsman had been so caught off guard by the mixture of relief and disappointment he’d felt then, that he’d been too afraid to ask for further clarification. To know for certain what his ambiguous feelings would solidify into terrified him. He’d been stewing in awkward confusion ever since.Series
