previously titled beserk A young gay witch with deadly powers on the fringe is traveling the U.S. in search of a substitute for suppressing his magic and a way to control his powers. Ezra Pierce was born into a religiously strict family with no one to rely on. His mother was always too strung out on anti-depression drugs and his father was borderline abusive, switching from borderline when Ezra first began to develop powers he couldn't control. After a vicious argument that nearly brought an entire city to its knees, Ezra ran from home in search of a better alternative to a magical suppression charm in the form of a ring that took away all magic he possessed. But after the Collapse, the few remaining witches ran, leaving the new generation to struggle to keep their heads above water with uncontrollable powers and being constantly hunted. So Ezra runs, finding himself in Forks Washington where he heard rumors of a vampire that might be the solution to his problems.

Alex Danvers is a 26 year old maths teacher, at the start of his career, who should be having the time of his life enjoying what he's earned after spending so much time at university. But with his schizophrenia out of control, he can't remember what he did to get him fired. The voices in his head make him confused and his memories are sketchy. He remembers luring a student and that's all that surfaces. All he knows is that he did something, something bad and he's facing the consequences in Volterra's Mental Asylum. Meanwhile, Aro has always been in search of a mate, and he knows he can't hide his secret for long: he loves men, not women. When he meets Alex, he takes him on his journey to self discovery and helping him express who he really is. And even more importantly, he can help Alex remember. The most important thing of all. Why did Alex get fired and what did he really do to or with that student? Did he or she even exist?
