Suzie is passionately in love with Taryn. It has been a whirlwind year for their relationship and she is dreaming of the life they will spend together. Unable to join him on holiday in Peru, she misses him deeply, and is longing for his return. But then comes Covid and the sudden global freeze on air travel.
Suzie struggles to make contact, but Taryn is not a great communicator at the best of times. But Pill, his best friend who’s out there with him, loves social media and has been posting online.
But as Suzie discovers the images, her life begins to fall apart. It seems that, far from being locked down, Taryn and Pill have had no trouble getting out and about to enjoy themselves. They’ve been making the most of their tropical paradise hideaway...and the intimacy of their beautiful new friends.

The world worships the androgynous youth called The One. Their God, from their own, for their time. But The One has a name. A real name. Chesra.
Marker is one of the Unknown, banished from everyday life, kept outside the Wall. But when he witnesses The One's proclamation, he sees through the façade to the girl imprisoned behind. He sees the real person. Her true identity.
