In a world filled with magic that directly correlates to ones social and political standing, Grey Cannon was not exceptional in any way. His abilities to read the minds of others was a typical skill that did not make him special in any manner of the word. 

On his eighteenth birthday, in an effort to alleviate the financial strain on his family, he willingly sold his "soul-contract" to an unknown bidder, Lord Erick Castlebrook. 

Lord Castlebrook, a seemingly young man in his early 30's,  has an air of mystery around him that captivates everyone from the common-folk to the prestige of the royal elite. 

In a manner of business, Lord Castlebrook runs investigations into the most serious crimes committed across the globe. In conjunction with society's most powerful and influential people, members of the Obsidian Court, Lord Castlebrook recruits members to his staff that hold rare and devastating affinities to better serve his cause. 

So why was Grey chosen? Does his abilities to read people's minds have more to it than meets the eye? Or does the young lord have a more sinister purpose in store for our young protagonist?All Rights Reserved

Kai: Taurus the Guardian (Trials of the Zodiac Book 4) by mmiddle5

As the unyielding Guardian of the Zodiacs, Kai has always been the rock his allies leaned on. But when he crosses into the Fae realm-a place brimming with magic, rebellion, and haunting shadows-he's thrust into a battle for survival like never before. The Queen's rule is oppressive, ancient evils whisper from the dark, and the Fae's rebellion is igniting under fierce warriors who refuse to be silenced. Teamed with trusted allies like Jalen, Balam, and Rashid, Kai soon realizes that his strength alone isn't enough to challenge the chaos or protect those he cares about. To stand a chance, he'll need to join forces with powerful new friends, including the fierce Princess Unora and the elusive Rogue Knight, Beck and expert trakers Chime and Maeve. But each new alliance tests his beliefs, and Kai finds himself uncovering powers he never imagined-powers he isn't sure he can control. The Team takes a deadly journeey through the fae forrest in search of The Gates of Damnation. As the rebellion's stakes rise, Kai must find a way to protect the Fae, heal the realm's broken balance, and reclaim the faith he once lost. Will Kai's journey forge a Guardian strong enough to save the Fae-or will his past regrets and doubts consume him in the end?

Select by zillainprogress

Gray has trained for over a decade to enter the rank of Select, an elite group that serves the realm's six courts. But first, she must impress court rulers during the Selection, where each court hosts dangerous tasks to test the Select. Gray is confident she'll be the top choice due to her rare fog magic and unyielding ambition until she fails to prevent the death of a lord during an attack. With the chance to prove herself worthy of a coveted position in the balance, she must persuade his only surviving son, Trystan, to support her in continuing in the Selection or risk dismissal. As the new lord, annoyingly handsome and stubborn Trystan is still a target with no allies, and he doesn't trust anyone, much less the woman he blames for his father's death. Desperate not to lose her chance at the future she knows she's worthy of, Gray shares a secret that could lead to her exploitation: she can access minds. She swears to use her magic to identify threats for Lord Trystan while he repairs the relationship between his court and others. Allied, they maneuver through the Selection, careful to keep a wall between duty and distractions, but secrets are being kept from them. Guards with haunted memories, brutal attacks along the borders, and people going missing in every court begin to stack up. All mention the same thing: an unnatural bright light- the same one Gray saw before Trystan's father died. Suddenly there isn't a clear definition of who the heroes or villains are. All Gray knows is that one side is offering her a title far grander than 'Select', but it will cost her everyone she cares about -- including the new lord she's beginning to fall for.

Paths Beyond (Under Rewrite) by DeoxyNAcid

In the frozen wilderness beyond the village walls, survival isn't guaranteed-it's earned. Grey, a sharp-eyed young hunter gifted with the ability to see ethereal threads of light connecting all living things, walks a thin line between life and death with every step into the snowbound forests. His gift is his greatest tool-and his deepest secret. When the Grand Hunt leads Grey and his squad to a chilling encounter with a monstrous creature and a group of robed strangers led by a sinister old man, the world he thought he knew begins to crack. Ancient powers stir beneath the frost, and the old man's magic reveals a truth far more terrifying than the dangers of the frozen woods. As the village reels from loss, Grey finds himself facing impossible choices. His gift, once a quiet advantage, now feels like a curse drawing him deeper into a conflict he doesn't understand. Shadows whisper of forgotten paths-ancient roads walked by those who sought strength not just to survive, but to transcend. Paths where power can be cultivated, honed, and wielded by those willing to sacrifice everything. But power always comes at a cost. Blood stains the frost, alliances are tested, and every step deeper into the unknown pulls Grey closer to a path he may not be ready to tread-a path where strength isn't just survival, but transformation. And in the depths of the wilderness, where cold winds carry secrets and danger lurks with every shadow, Grey must decide if he's willing to pay the price for what lies beyond.

The Doctor Of East Hadena [MXM] [SERIAL KILLER] ✓ by alydae

Camilo Carter is The Doctor of East Hadena, one of the deadliest serial killers the city has ever seen. He's excellent at what he does, with no signs of getting caught any time soon. He thinks he has it all figured out, sees himself as almost bulletproof. He's never slipped up, never come remotely close. Camilo is untouchable. That is, until the really hot lead investigator of his case moves in across the hall. ~ "Perfect," he tells me, tone low. My heart practically stops beating in my chest. "I meant you're perfect." Decari doesn't know. He has no idea how untrue that is, how far off. He doesn't know, and he can't know. He can't ever fucking find out! He just can't, and I'm terrified that if I let this continue any longer... I'll get too comfortable. Too secure. I can never allow myself to doubt his loyalty to the law. If I'm to give in, I need to promise myself that. I take a step forward, and we're so close like this that I can feel the heat of his body. I finally move my gaze up to his eyes, which look a lot darker like this. He is entirely focused on me, and I don't think he even realizes he does it, but his hand drops from my face and finds its way to my hip a moment later. The world seems to disappear as I look into his eyes, deciding to warn him one last time. "You'll change your mind." ~ [WARNINNGS: definitely blood and gore etc since the book is about a serial killer, there will also be heavy topics like abuse and sexual assault, not graphic. also smut of course]
