Back Cover Write-Up
In a world where power is absolute and freedom is an illusion, one man dares to challenge the rules.
Ethan has spent his life in quiet servitude, tending to the grand gardens of his master’s estate. Bound by tradition, obedience is his only path—until a single act of defiance changes everything. Stripped of his identity, hunted for his refusal to conform, Ethan becomes an unregistered male—a man without a place, a future, or the right to exist.
Now, he must navigate a society that sees him as a threat, forging unexpected alliances and uncovering secrets that could unravel the very foundations of power. But as Ethan faces impossible choices, he discovers that true freedom isn’t about escaping—it’s about choosing where you belong.
Gripping, thought-provoking, and deeply human, An Unregistered Male is a story of resilience, identity, and the courage to reclaim one’s destiny.
