The President

What if a regime that once called your love a crime suddenly declared it a right? What if your mother were a mirror of your country, beautiful, powerful, and determined to erase you?
Anmar has always been told who to be. Obedient son. Future man. But beneath his measured smiles, he is unraveling, haunted by desire, burdened by shame, and starving for the freedom to love without fear.
Exiled to an elite boys' school run by the regime, Anmar finds both cruelty and connection. Daniyal, the boy who speaks to the self Anmar buried. And Haroon, the dream that love could be safe, seen, even sacred.
Set in the near future, The President is a fiercely intimate and politically charged coming-of-age queer utopia about what it means to be queer under authoritarian rule. With poetic force and emotional precision, Lucian S. explores how love, identity, and resistance survive even in the darkest corners of repression.

For readers who crave tenderness in tension, who have loved in silence, and who know the quiet revolution of becoming yourself. For every queer soul who's ever been told they're too much, too soft, too wrong, this book sees you. And it burns for you.
