Sincerely Yours, August
In the autumn of 1954, August Wintern arrives at St. Alaric’s School for Boys as a late transfer, burdened by the weight of a past he’d rather forget. Quiet and observant, he navigates the halls of the academy with a reserved demeanor, finding solace in literature and the quiet corners of the library. But even books can’t shield him from the unfamiliar world he’s been thrust into.
James Caldwell, by contrast, is effortless in his defiance. With a sharp wit and a reputation for bending the rules, he commands attention without trying. He is everything August is not—easygoing, reckless, untouchable. When they are unexpectedly paired for a classical literature project, their differences seem endless. James’s disregard clashes with August’s meticulous nature, their conversations charged with thinly veiled contempt.
But when August stumbles upon a book filled with cryptic letters—letters that reference events that should be impossible—what began as a reluctant partnership shifts into something far more complicated. As they attempt to decipher the mystery buried within ink-stained pages, the lines between rivalry and understanding blur. And in the quiet spaces between arguments and unspoken words, August begins to wonder: is James truly as untouchable as he seems? Or is he running from something, too?
