The Poet's System

At nineteen, Dexter was already one of the world’s most celebrated authors. His books topped charts. Critics praised his genius. Fans devoured every word. But behind the acclaim was a lonely boy—raised without parents, love, or real friends—just stories.

He published his first novel at fourteen. By seventeen, he was a literary star. But the higher he rose, the hollower it felt.
