Tristan thrives whenever he can speak, whether it be on stage or in high-stake debates. Having worked his way up into Oxford, he has rapidly become one of the best speakers for the debating union whilst striving for nothing less than to become a renowned politician.
When the stakes of the debate rise high, and the argumentation flows he is in his element - but when silence falls, the arguments begin to turn against himself.
For Hibiki, words never flow. From a young age, he has been mute, and social interactions are always convoluted and difficult to navigate. No matter how intelligent he is, he finds himself stranded in isolation from the rest of the world as his well-to-do family keeps him sheltered.
So when he sees Tristan speak at his first-year introduction at Oxford, he can't help but find himself completely infatuated and knows that he must meet with him no matter what.
Yet the sheen of high society wears off quickly, only to reveal the cracks in their souls. Will the shards of their broken pasts leave them both hurting, or do they fit together better than any words could ever express?

Spring
Sage Gibson wasn't prepared for his whole existence to be uprooted and moved away. He didn't love his life, but that didn't mean he wouldn't miss it.

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete
