Lightholder mages live by many rules. Among these: second-born twins must die for the good of all.

In this sequel to Garden of Light, Domi, a fifteen-year-old apprentice sorcerer, has just learned the terrible secret that he is the younger twin brother of the world's most powerful wizard and was abandoned at birth in order to save his life. Worse, his mere existence threatens not only his brother's safety but the lives of every person on the planet. 

For Domi's twin brother is the Princeps Worldholder, a wizard whose royal magic defends and maintains the world, and Domi's illicit magic naturally interferes with his brother's health and sorcery. If the Princeps dies, magic itself could be destroyed, and the world that depends on it could crumble.

The twins find themselves in a race against time to save magic, the world, and each other. But what does it mean to survive, and what is the price of existence?All Rights Reserved

The Dragon Prince's Consort by RMHash

Desperate people will do desperate things to survive. Wealth, privilege, and power don't always lead to happiness. Money can't buy everything, but freedom has a heavy price tag. Family dynamics can be a royal pain. Love can be a choice. Fang knows trouble. Alien moneylenders, late rent, unpaid debts and generational poverty have all driven her to make a lot of really bad choices - including taking a last-minute job entertaining a wealthy Drass in hopes that she'll make enough cash to escape freezing Anun and start over. Again. Her client is an odd one, but at least he's sweet, gentle and surprisingly cute for a species that looks like a cross between a demon and a dragon, horns and all. After a night of delicious wine, soft kisses and blistering passion Fang drifts off to dreams of warm clothes, regular meals and a place she can call home. Valen has it all: money, power, a name that guarantees him a life of ease and unimaginable luxury - but he leads a lonely, purposeless life in his father's house and his only friends are paid to look after him. So when a human woman appears in his bedroom, nude and claiming to be his birthday present, he can't help but wonder if he's finally gone mad. But she is real, she is lovely, and she is his for the night. For now Valen can forget who he is, and as he falls asleep with her in his arms he dreams of her becoming a more frequent visitor. Dawn reveals a horrifying truth, and two strangers are forced to put their trust in each other amid a web of secrets, lies, politics and familial strife. Putting on their best faces in public Fang and Valen must convince their respective people that they can work together for the greater good, and in private their relationship begins to develop from one of convenience into something far more complicated.
