Two brothers forced to act against their wills, lest their river village collapse and broiled under a metal dome summoned by Shacklers-a type of Baylan who can manipulate steels with a swish and flick of their hands.
Under a Blood Contract they were sent into The Gilded Palace, one of the Seven Vaults of the Tres Imperyo. Thicks walls, heavily armed guards, and the unknown. But Sarion and Alain were not any ordinary brothers; for they share an ability which lifts them a leverage in their mission.
However, when they had 'procured' the item, it seemed Sarion had lost more than gained in a fortnight.
Now the item rests in his hands. The lives of the people in his village, in his hands. Everything was in his blood-stained hands.

A Little Bite of Magic Goes a Long Way (BxB)
Matt Rose is nothing special. Though he's friends with witches and vampires, monsters and ghosts, Matt himself has always been painfully mundane. So, when an accident reveals he has a gift of his own, Matt is overjoyed. For his husband, Ben, on the other hand, it seems like one weird thing too many. With a growing rift between them, Matt can't understand why Ben doesn't love the magic in their lives the way he does, and why he seems able to make time for just about everyone and everything except for him. Finally, when things reach a breaking point just days before their first anniversary, Matt is devastated. With his heart in pieces, he decides to take matters into his own hands, get the truth, and win Ben back. As he quickly discovers, though, magic is fickle--a coin with two sides. A little bit of it can go a long way, and not always in the direction he might have hoped. --- About this story: This story features characters from the Ari & Soren books, 'Bound by Blood (formerly titled 'Breath of Osiris') and 'Hecate's Gift.'

BLOOD IS POWER. The Blood-Bound Sovereigns, Matei and Mhera, have been leading the Penruan Empire as best as they can since the Arcborn Rebellion shattered it half a decade ago. Together, they've weathered many trials and borne many burdens, but the time of their deepest suffering was yet to come... Matei and Mhera's daughter, Princess Uarria, disappeared from her bedchamber late one night. The mutilated corpse of her guard, stuffed unceremoniously into a wardrobe, makes it clear that the princess is in mortal danger. With tensions broiling in the southern provinces of Narr and threatening to escalate into all-out war, the terrified parents must balance their fear for their daughter with their duties to the realm. Meanwhile, Uachi u Rora struggles with the revelation that Ealin, the unmarked Arcborn woman he has loved for years, is the one who has taken the princess. He cares for Ealin more than he's ever cared for anything in his life and now, faced with the horror of her betrayal, he is honor-bound to bring her to justice. His journey will take him farther from home than he has ever gone, where he will meet people stranger than any he's ever known and face down monsters he first met as a boy.Complete
In Thy Name
An mxm dark fantasy romance. Two men separated by magic and caste--can they cross the line? (And save the world while they're at it?) The slowest of slow burns. Mature themes; pls check the content warnings! Before every political revolution, comes a revolution of the heart. Sareb, an outcast shaman-mage, and Kuya, a warlord's son, could not be more different. Living alone in a cave, shunned by almost everyone, Sareb refuses to admit he needs anyone or anything. For Kuya, family is everything. He would do anything for his older sister, the heir to their father's steppe empire, poised on the brink of world conquest-although he harbors misgivings about their violent way of life. When Sareb intervenes in an "accident" that leaves Kuya's sister's soul in limbo, the two are drawn into a quest from the desert sands to the northern steppe in search of her soul. As the stakes rise from one soul to clan rivalry to world war, a connection grows between the surly mage and the softhearted warrior. But Sareb has walled himself off after losing practically everyone that mattered to him, and he refuses to open up to one of the warrior elite who are to blame. For Kuya, the family name comes first, even before matters of the heart. For them to be together-not to mention stop the impending war-the entire world will have to change. For fans of THE POPPY WAR, THE JASMINE THRONE or THE FIFTH SEASON - but GAY! Content Warnings: brutal colonization/enslavement/genocide (mostly off the page); drug use/abuse; emotional abuse with sexual undertones; PTSD, depression and suicidal ideation; fantasy violence All of the main characters are 18+. Caste-based oppression, abuse, and mental health issues are depicted, but the storyline is one of healing and making the world better.

Tom has worked behind his parent's bar for four years, and humans are irritating demons more than ever. But are the demons to blame, or is something far more unjust warping the truth?Complete

In the fractured land of Nerathys, where humans and spirit-bound warriors once fought side by side, a fragile peace is maintained by ancient magic. The heir to the empire's throne of the empire Caelthar, Prince Kael, is taken captive after a failed rebellion. Instead of being executed, he is given as a blood-bound servant to Lord Arion, the cold and ruthless commander of the empire's ghostbound armies - soldiers fused with the souls of the dead. But Arion is not what he seems. Bound to a ghost named Lyra, he's cursed with both immense power and a growing madness. When Kael is forced to serve him, he discovers the truth: Arion's soul is fading, and only Kael's bloodline magic can keep him tethered to the world. As Kael struggles to survive, he discovers a terrifying truth: only his bloodline magic can keep Arion-and the empire itself-from unraveling. Will Kael make it out alive? Will he build a relationship of trust and friendship with the Lord or perhaps even something more? Or will it be the ruin of the only chance of fixing what should be right? *** Contains violence, strong language, and other mature themes. Read on your own risk!
