   Summary

   1909. Edwardian London, where love is criminal and literature is dangerous.

   Mr. Aziraphale Fell runs a respectable Soho bookshop with secrets hidden behind false shelves. Mr. Anthony Crowley writes scandalous poetry much too honest for publication. When they meet over a forbidden copy of Baudelaire, they recognize something dangerous and captivating in each other: the refusal to be silent.

   Together, they publish a time bomb of a book. Second Circle – forty-two poems about queer love and resistance that could send them both to prison.

   This is the story of what that choice costs them – and why it was worth it.
