Saints and Sinners

At St. Augustine's Boarding School for the Elite, the lines between betrayal and loyalty, sin and virtue blur dangerously, where hierarchy eclipses dignity. In this novel, the distinction between saints and sinners is stark, echoing Oscar Wilde's words: "Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future."

Vilhelm Andersen, the backup Crown Prince of Sweden, is overshadowed by his unfeeling older brother Henrik and is resented by the king and queen. Shipped off like unwanted cargo to Winchester, Vilhelm transforms his entire appearance, becoming unrecognizable yet harbouring a monumental secret. At St. Augustine's, where he embodies Poe's ominous raven, Vilhelm untangles a web of messy friendships, especially one with Emrhys Campbell, the Crown Prince of the UK---and ends up falling for Stellan Eriksson. In a town of fractured hearts striving for mending, multiple relationships and pairings of saints and sinners intertwine, culminating in a descent into madness---à la folie.

One town, six pairings of saints and sinners---how many will find their happy ending?

"I want to write poems on your skin with my lips. Count me among the sinners once more, for I sin in your name, my dear raven."
