Kalzerath and his sister Kaida had been walking the roads of the world since Kalzerath was twelve. After a war between their own, Dragons, and the human kingdom of Mrethith, their only safety laid in the Elven mountains of Dresath. They were almost there. They could see the peaks in the distance and yet, all it took was one human finding the truth before the siblings were thrown into cages. Trapped like animals, there was little to nothing that Kalzerath could do this time to save his sister and himself. Perhaps she would be the only one leaving the hunters camp alive. ---------- A book about dragons, recovering from trauma, and a whole lot of world-building.

[COMPLETED] [MXM] The god-like guardians have been part of mortal history for as long as the world has existed. They exist in the background, taking on different roles and guiding the mortals. The mortal realm has been split between the four different guardian factions: The air guardians, the earth guardians, the water guardians, and the fire guardians. Fire guardian leader Chatan is hiding something about himself. Water guardian leader, and his former lover turned enemy, Vitali feels like he's the only one that's noticed the change in Chatan. Mathieu is just trying to follow his twin, Chatan, and complete what he believes to be their destiny. Earth guardian Léonide is still searching for a reason why Mathieu suddenly pushed him away. Something sinister is lurking just beneath the surface of what the guardians believe to be their normal lives. Facing difficulties from increasing mortal problems, the guardians are pushed into their own battle. Chatan and Mathieu seem to be two of the few guardians who know what is happening with the balance of the world, but even they seem uneasy about something. It is up to Vitali and Léonide to figure out exactly what is happening before it is too late. The Sun goes dark as War rises.

Eden Woods has spent his entire life searching for something. He spends his days working at a cafe in France, taking photos to pass the time, then going out on weekends, losing himself in the nights. Only, despite all the soul searching, he can never quite shake the feeling that he's missing something. Then, after a drunken, almost definitely accidental tattoo, Eden meets Avery. The one who did it. He's a tempest. Blustering and bold. Fiery and flirtatious. Avery Romano is a mystery in a bottle, and all Eden wants is to figure him out. Slowly, Eden starts to think that maybe Avery is exactly what he's been searching for. When Avery begins to frequent Eden's cafe, the two begin to forge a bond, and slowly but surely, their paths begin to grow together like intertwining vines climbing up the same wall. For a while, life goes on. Then obviously, things get complicated.

"The boy suddenly looked up, his perfectly black eyes meeting mine. I knew, at least aesthetically, we were already opposites. His eyes were black and mine were blue; his hair was thick and long, mine was thin and short; he wore all black, I wore bright colors. But in his eyes, I saw the same thing I see every morning. I saw a certain weight I could never describe. A certain tiredness that can't be fixed with sleep. He kept looking at me and I kept looking back at him and neither of us blinked and neither of us spoke and neither of us moved. His head tilted ever so slightly I doubted it even happened. His eyes flashed something quick and familiar and I felt my eyes widen and my neck burn and my hands suddenly fighting against my body to reach out." ..................
