The novel is mainly about the forgotten British poet/writer named C. J Richards who lived in Burma/Myanmar in colonial times and he believed himself as a Burmophile. He served as I.C.S (Indian Civil Servant) and when he retired from I.C.S service, he was a D.C (District Commissioner) and he left for England a year before Burma gained its independence in 1948. He came to Burma in 1920 to work in civil service after passing the hardest I.C.S examination. He wrote several books on Burma and contributed many monthly articles to Guardian Magazine published in Burma from 1953 to 1974 or 1975. Though he wrote several books which had much literary merit to both communities, Britain and Burma (Myanmar), people failed to recognize him. The story has two parts: one part is set in the contemporary Yangon (then called Rangoon) in 2016 context and a young literary enthusiast named “Lin” found out unexpectedly the forgotten writer’s poetry book and there is surely a good deal of time gap that led him into a quest to know more about the author’s life. The setting is quite different comparing to colonial Burma and independence Myanmar (Burma), early twentieth century and 2016 which is a transitional period in Myanmar. The writer’s life is fictionalized in the novel and most of the facts are taken from his personal stories and other reference books. It is a kind of historical novel with a twist and it has comparatively constructed the two different periods in Myanmar history to convince readers, locally and abroad more about history, authorship, humanity, colonialism, and transitional development in Myanmar today.

Amara Nwosu believed graduation would mark the beginning of her freedom — a quiet transition from struggle into possibility. Instead, it became the night her life collapsed in front of Lagos’ most powerful elite. At an exclusive graduation gala in Ikoyi, a leaked video exposes a hidden network of betrayal involving the people she trusted most — her boyfriend, her best friend, and those she once believed were shaping her future. Within hours, Amara is not just humiliated… she is publicly dismantled. But humiliation is never random in Lagos. Behind the scandal lies a deeper system of power — one that connects university politics to corporate empires and political families who operate beyond consequences. And at the center of it all is Damian Afolayan — a billionaire who does not intervene, does not explain… but watches. Carefully. Quietly. As if her destruction was never accidental. Thrown into a world of wealth, silence, and dangerous secrets, Amara is forced to survive in spaces designed to erase her. But survival slowly turns into awareness… and awareness into something far more dangerous than revenge. Because in Lagos, power does not fear love. It fears exposure. And Amara is no longer willing to stay invisible.
