The first novel from Xavier Axelson, author of The Incident, Dutch’s Boy, Earthly Concerns and The Birches.
Set against an opulent backdrop of decadence, privilege and intrigue comes the first novel by Xavier Axelson. Virago, the royal tailor, makes a discovery that will test the bonds of brotherhood, unravel the forbidden secrets of his heart and threaten the very fabric of his existence.
In a land where cruelty is disguised as allegiance, loyalty is masked by obligation and the laws of sumptuary govern the people, nothing is more dangerous than Velvet.
Look for Velvet late October from Seventh Window Publications.
