When professional failed actor, Rafe Blackthorne, accepted a drama teacher's job at Brimley Comprehensive, he thought his days would be filled with school productions of Annie and Oliver! etcetera. And they were. For a while.

But when a shadowy cabal seizes control of the school, Rafe finds himself caught in a web of coercion, corruption, and deceit.

Led by a ruthless headteacher with powerful allies, this gang of masquerading managers has one goal: to privatise the school and line their own pockets. They need Rafe’s silver tongue to sway the community, and they’ll stop at nothing to secure his cooperation—even setting a honey trap to blackmail him.

As the stakes rise and the line between right and wrong blurs, Rafe must decide whether to betray his principles to protect himself or take a stand against a criminal empire. In a world where words can build futures or destroy them, Rafe’s Reckoning is a gripping tale of morality, manipulation, and the courage it takes to fight for what truly matters.

Told with Rafe's trademark wit and dry humour, Rafe's Reckoning is woven with moments of unexpected romance that complicate his already precarious situation.
