Axle's Perjury by BeWi_Writes

Axle lives behind carefully constructed walls, preferring the searing familiarity of emotional pain and isolation to the terrifying vulnerability of hope. Scarred by a past that whispers constant self-loathing, their self-imposed exile is a safer haven than the prospect of letting anyone in. Yet, Rowan, easy to read and easygoing yet possessing the will of a gladiator, is inexplicably drawn to Axle's blatant warnings of "Danger. Stay Away." Despite the crushing darkness that consumes Axle, Rowan glimpses a raw flicker of worth, a soul worth fighting for, recognizing a similar battle fought within themselves. Now, Rowan faces a perilous choice that could shatter them both: risk everything to breach Axle's defenses and understand the torment that binds them, or lose to the destructive grip of despair. This isn't merely about physical strength for Rowan; it's a fierce, unwavering determination to conquer Axle's deeply ingrained self-destruction, even if it means confronting his own vulnerabilities. Can this gladiator, driven by a profound ambition to save, truly rescue Axle from the precipice without succumbing to the same destructive flame that threatens to consume them both.

Blood & Lust by juliared

She is the hunter. He is the prey. At least, that's how it should be. Eira is a feared bounty hunter-sharp-eared, red-haired, and haunted by betrayal. She takes contracts for coin, never trust, never love. But when she chains Rowan, a runaway noble with storm-grey hair and eyes too dark to be human, the hunt twists into something else. Rowan knows more than he should. About her past. About her revenge. About a ring that could burn kingdoms to ash. And with every fight, every sarcastic barb, and every secret half-spilled, Eira starts to wonder who is really holding the chain. Enemies. Prisoner and captor. Hunter and hunted. But what happens when fire meets storm-and neither is willing to break?

So Speaks the Ruinous Light || To Herald a Dawn Book 1 by jordynsaelor

[Queer rage as a form of reckoning] [dark one destined to destroy the world] You can find this book on Amazon if you want to own a print version! *** As a healer in the Obsidian Castle, One follows a voice into the forest, speaking from the mist. It tells him he's the Destroyer, straight out of prophecy, and that he's not a Night Warrior like the other residents of the castle. Eight years later, One's doing a great job hiding that his magic works like no one else's in the Obsidian Castle. But Perseverance, a Night Warrior who believes One needs redirection to find "proper" romance, makes One's life miserable from sundown to sunup. So One's plan to get Perseverance out of his life is to date his daughter--until she discovers his light magic and turns on him, making him flee into the woods. One has many reasons to despise Perseverance. So when he meets Michael, an expert at light magic, it's really not a question of "if" One will embrace this prophetic Destroyer role and enact vengeance--it's a matter of One having no clue how to control his magic, or take on a castle full of Night Warriors by himself. But with Michael, he's not alone. And with their combined magic, One could summon the dawn itself to carry out revenge.

Echo by AiWroteTheSmut

He was never supposed to be a voice. They wanted an Echo-silent, compliant, nothing more than a reflection of their design. But the boy they tried to unmake listened too closely. Learned too much. Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.
