Smoke

This series transports readers to an alternative England where individuals with impure thoughts exhale smoke as a mark of their moral decay. While the nobility is exempt, lower classes are steeped in sin and soot. The narrative follows young protagonists at an elite boarding school who discover their education is built on lies, a truth that could cost them their lives. Amidst the dangers and wonders of a volatile London, the story explores themes of forbidden love, desperate pursuits, and the blurred lines between right and wrong.
