YOUNG SHERLOCK: A STUDY IN CHOICE

In the shadowed halls of Oxford, brilliance is everything-and weakness is fatal.

Before he became the world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes was simply a boy with an extraordinary mind... and one constant in his life: Billie Lestrade.

Raised together as family friends, their futures were once nearly decided for them-until her father refused to turn his daughter into an arrangement. What followed was not obligation, but choice. Friendship became something deeper. Something dangerous.

But Oxford changes everything.

When a series of impossible incidents begin to unfold within the university's ancient walls, Sherlock is drawn into a game of intellect and deception unlike anything he has faced before. At the centre of it stands a new arrival-brilliant, calculating, and utterly unpredictable:

James Moriarty.

He sees what others do not.
He understands what others cannot.
And he has already noticed the one thing Sherlock cannot afford to lose.

As rivalry turns to obsession, and deduction becomes a weapon, Billie finds herself caught between two minds that could reshape the world-or destroy it.

Because in a game where everything is calculated...

the most dangerous variable is choice.
