Drafted

By Jeff Mills

DRAFTED is a powerful, thought-provoking novel that draws a bold comparison across three forms of control: military conscription, professional sports drafting, and forced labor during slavery-connecting them through one unflinching lens.
Through the lives of Malik, Jalen, and Eli, this story reveals how systems shape identity, define value, and blur the line between choice and control.
From uniforms to contracts to invisible expectations, DRAFTED challenges readers to rethink freedom in a world where structure is everywhere-and often unseen.
This is not just a story about being chosen.
It is a story about what happens after.
And the cost of becoming what the system needs.
