*****COMPLETE-- Book three in the Wild Magic Series. Sequel to By the Light of the Moon and The Dark of the Sun, but can be read as a stand-alone. The Shade of the Earth is a M/M, May/December, gay-for-you romance with fated mates, knotting, and a bobcat shifter with a small stature and big spunk.***** Robert has been surrounded by men attracted and romantically involved with other men for most of his life. He accepts his friends, defends them, loves them... but has never really understood them and their attraction to other men. Now, a diminutive bobcat shifter, with all the spunk of his feline counterparts, nameless and without a family or home, has claimed him as his mate, refuses to leave his side, and somehow forces him to see sex and attraction in a whole new light. But just as things are beginning to fall into place for Robert and his Sami, will they have everything ripped away by a dark figure from Robert's past? ************************************************ "I'm confused, Sami. This is... a lot. I've never been attracted to a man. I like women- I don't like men! Please understand, all of this is a lot for me." "I'm not men," the shifter whispered, a single tear dripping across his temple and back into his curly, ragged hair. "I'm your Sami." The words had the breath in my lungs freezing painfully. I stared down into his simple, open face, and had a sudden, near-violent realization. Sami ran on pure, feral instinct. This didn't make him stupid, it didn't make him simple of mind. It made his desires and thought process easy and pure. He wanted me, I was denying him. He couldn't understand any other reason for me to do this other than his own inadequacies. He didn't understand the laws of attraction as humans saw them. He saw only that I was his mate. And I was denying him.

Born of chaos and shadow, a great, ancient evil may be behind every hell I have endured for the last two years. Since the day my family was ripped from me and my life was torn asunder before my very eyes. Leaving me helpless to do anything but endure, over and over and over again. Endure through the degradation of slavery. Endure through the horrors of torture and assault. Endure through having my magic, my very soul, ripped from me with a flimsy bit of metal. I'm through enduring. I'm through letting others decide my fate. I'm through with patience. That ancient evil. The one spoken of in legends and myths and whispers told around campfires to scare children. The stories of a hag so powerful he tore the world asunder the last time he rose to power. The hag only tamed by the power of the children of the gods. That bastard had better pray to whatever gods he believes in, because my patience, my endurance, and my sanity are all at an end. If it is the last thing I do, he will feel my wrath. The wrath of Wal'yah. The wrath of a thousand ancestors screaming along with me. Finally, by my will, the wrath of winter will sear his flesh and his bones. And the gods have mercy on my soul for what I will give up, what I will tear apart, and who I will leave behind in doing so.

The fight to save Oceana has only just begun. Valory, Arden, and the mercenary crew of Windjammer return to the capital to learn that the alliance marching against them is far darker than they had feared. Racing against time to defend Anaphe, the capital's twin-city, from destruction, Valory and Arden head south even as duty drives a wedge between them. Contract-bound, Valory fulfills his late father's wishes and sails for Anaphe to prepare the city for siege. While spies and loyalists slither through his court, an army of twisted creatures advances upon Anaphe's walls, the likes of which haven't been seen for generations. Meanwhile, Arden travels westward in a bid to win an unprecedented alliance that could either save Anaphe from collapse -- or bring Windjammer to ruin. The road back to the city proves to be no easy one, however, for their enemy lies closer to home than they ever could have imagined.

Um espírito maligno coloca um vilarejo em risco e agora dois rivais terão que se unir para salvar quem amam. Na antiga Ise, Yusuke e Tetsurō eram melhores amigos, mas conflitos ancestrais entre suas famílias os levaram a tomar caminhos distintos: Yusuke abandonou tudo para se tornar um samurai, enquanto Tetsurō seguiu seu altruísmo em busca de ser o melhor curandeiro da região. Ao retornar da guerra, Yusuke encontra o vilarejo assolado por uma misteriosa praga. Esgotado e sem saída, Tetsurō não sabe mais o que tentar quando a epidemia coloca em risco sua irmã caçula. A última alternativa é buscar a cura da maldição no topo da montanha Akayama, onde a crença popular diz haver yōkais. Yusuke não acredita nessas lendas, mas algo não o permite deixar Tetsurō ir sozinho - memória afetiva ou um chamado do destino, é impossível dizer. Os livros deixam claro que ninguém que chega ao cume da montanha regressa, mas eles vão até lá juntos pela salvação de Ise. A resposta para esse problema parece estar em uma criatura traiçoeira, um kitsune condenado a uma penitência por seus atos: ajudá-los a voltar para o mundo humano. Ou pelo menos é o que ele diz... 🏆 Vencedor do The Wattys 2019 em Fantasia 🏆 História Destaque do Wattpad em 2018
