Summary
England 1884. Kili has grown up as the only child on the estate of the rich, but downcast barrister Mr Oakenshield, who considers him nothing but a hindrance. But when tragedy strikes, Thorin makes a promise that will change both their lives forever. And very slowly the reckless youngster begins to defrost his heart.
Meanwhile the political climate in England is changing. Once not that long ago love between two men could see them with a noose around their neck. These days most turn a blind eye to such "unnatural" behaviour, but there are changes afoot that carry a threat for anyone who chooses to engage in such behaviours.
This is a dark tale of love against all odds in a world that is on the brink of big changes, fighting with its own moralities and human rights. There is silent war between those who are holding on to the old codes of class diversity, religious morality and harsh punishment and a new movement that believes in equality regardless of class, gender and sexuality.
