Twenty- Seven year old Harlan Finn had a pretty traumatic childhood that molded who he is today, a psychopathic killer. How did it start? How can someone even choose this kind of "life" to live? On the night of a family event, a cousin he's never met before, came in covered in blood, mumbling, saying things he couldn't understand as a young child, until that very same cousin screamed out, "You're all going to pay for what you've done to me! I'll make you all pay!" Then continued to grab a knife off the dessert table and slit everyone's throats, painting the whole house red with his own family's blood. That right there, in Harlan's brain, struck an inspiration that no child should have wanted.

Lightning Elf Zenneth Valgustus has spent his life in the human world, trading ancient power for circuit boards and satellite schematics. To his influential family-who built their m-tech empire atop a legacy of sealed magic-his career as an electrical engineer is nothing short of disgraceful. But Zen prefers soldering irons to boardrooms, and freedom to the Valgustus name. Then Kevyn Fuego walks back into his life. An ex-Peace Corp airman with fire in his blood and warmth in his smile, Kevyn is the one person Zen never stopped wanting. Their reunion should be simple. It isn't. A single act of corporate espionage drags Zen into the shadows of his family's corruption, unraveling secrets that threaten both the magical and human worlds. As the danger escalates, Kevyn refuses to leave Zen's side-sparking old feelings, new loyalties, and a bond powerful enough to scorch through any lie. But General Sion Nox has ambitions that burn hotter than fire and strike faster than lightning. With alliances forming between rival Elven clans, Unseelie Fairies, and a ruthless human politician, the world teeters on the edge of chaos. To stop a global catastrophe, Zen must confront the legacy he fled-and decide whether love is worth stepping back into the storm.
