These are the last days of the Old Empire and magic is fading from the world. In the ruined city of Eldernost, disgraced knights, desperate scavengers, cunning merchants, hedge wizards and alchemists, dangerous opportunists and daring adventurers all seek the precious traces of remnant magic that promise wealth and immortality. But deep in the vast forest expanse of the Greenwell, the savage, blood-drinking wights watch the invaders with ravenous eyes and plot to defend their homeland. Across the known world, nations clash and kingdoms are shattered as great powers struggle for control of the last reserves of fading magic on which empires and noble dynasties were built.

"Superheroes" are therefore born to uphold principles of justice. "Dean Meredith" is the heir of an ancient military family. His public persona is that of a handsome, arrogant young second lieutenant, while behind the scenes, he is "Commander Joe," a daunting superhero feared by villains. Everything in Dean's life is perfect-wealth, fame, and an unending entourage of beautiful women-yet he remains uninterested, focused solely on the mission of combating evil and upholding his family's honor. Until the day he meets "Halo," a young man with an extraordinarily beautiful face. Dean, who has never been interested in romance, unexpectedly loses his first kiss to this beautiful stranger. The young man is unaware whether Halo is a nefarious villain or someone else entirely; all he knows is that beneath that stunning facade lies a wicked spirit. Halo destroys everything Dean once held dear, trampling all over his dignity without remorse. Dean hates this person intensely... yet for some reason, his body and deep-seated desires show a contrary reaction.

The Death of Duty
What began as a story inspired by Kentaro Muira's Berserk, became a world... The young Prince Eadric has lost his closest friend, greatest ally, and true love, his squire Olivar. Ripped from Eadric by a war his Father-the King-began and does not wish to end, or else diminish his power and control over the people. The Prince has no recourse for justice, or sanction to grieve openly, lest the court discover his "sinful nature," his desire for men. He finds comfort where he can, in time spent with his wife, the Princess Malika, and their children, but an emptiness continues to haunt him. By decree of the king, in hopes that his son may be "cured" of his "affliction," he has commissioned the Holy Seal to assign a spiritual tutor to guide the Prince. Through fate or other pantheonic happenstance, the High Cleric Daemo is selected for the task and through their lessons spent together the pair discover a bond that supersedes duty, and societal want. An elve, born among the lower classes of Ullyn-their shared country-Daemo has brought to his newly established rank as High Cleric, a deep understanding of the peasant plight and fights to strengthen their rights. Often childish, and yet wise beyond his years, capable of reciting great poetry and replicating flatulent excess, the High Cleric captivates Eadric with his eccentric charm, as the Prince captivates Daemo with his gentle heart, buried beneath a societally mandated masculine stoicism. Spanning nearly two decades, their relationship soars to beautiful highs, and crashes to withering lows, throttled by unrest and the pressures constantly laid upon the Prince as the son of a man who has done more wrong for the kingdom than right. Eadric could resign himself to the traditional expectations that generations past have established for him, or fight for newly formed convictions-social justice-fostered by feelings he never thought he could find again, those of true love, with Daemo.
