More in the Series
Abel Torres is now one of the most famous young men in America, a national hero, and a sophomore in college with a musical career beginning to launch.
As he prepares for the opening of Les Miz, a stranger threatens to make public his life as a prostitute with multiple clients, not just the congressman, which could crash his future and humiliate his family. Dirksen could be in trouble. Prince Ali could be implicated; his uncle was powerful and ruthless. Who betrayed him? Who can he trust? The white supremacist underground enraged that a mixed-race gay man thwarted their revolution, has him in their crosshairs. The pressure and violence begin to unravel Zachary’s mental health. Abel signs a major record contract just as a militia group spoils the announcement.
And, as always, his voice soars.
