In a hidden Georgian London, love battles against betrayal in The Betrayal of Thomas True, where secrets threaten lives and hearts.
Set in the clandestine world of Georgian London's 'gay' scene, The Betrayal of Thomas True unfolds as a gripping and harrowing thriller. The narrative follows Thomas True, who arrives on old London Bridge in 1710, carrying a perilous secret. As he navigates the grimy back streets of the city, he becomes ensnared in the vibrant yet dangerous underbelly of the molly houses. Here, love and loyalty are tested against a backdrop of betrayal and impending doom.
Simultaneously, carpenter Gabriel Griffin leads a double life as Lotty, the silent protector of the molly houses. His existence takes a dark turn when Mother Clap, the notorious queen of the 'he-harlots,' reveals a chilling threat that could lead to the execution of his friends. The tension escalates as Gabriel realizes that a traitor lurks among them, feeding secrets to ruthless Justices determined to punish those they deem sinful.
As the clock ticks down, Gabriel must race against time to expose the rat before it’s too late. The stakes are high, and he must also find a way to save Thomas, all while grappling with their own complicated love. The Betrayal of Thomas True is a story of courage, deception, and the enduring power of love in the face of overwhelming evil.
