In a world of towering airships, steam-powered wonders, and ancient magic, the Aetherwing Brigade soars above all, the last line of defense against chaos. For centuries, they have safeguarded the skies, balancing peace between nations and magical factions-dragons, elves, and vampires alike.
Kai, a dragonborn from the rugged outskirts of Lagos, has always dreamt of more than his modest life growing vegetables with his fiery breath. When he gets the opportunity to join the elite Aetherwing Brigade, his life is thrown into a whirlwind of ambition, magic, and mystery.
Alongside Isaac, a sharp-tongued elf with a past as tangled as his jokes, Bayu, a talented wizard haunted by expectations, and Tomoya, a brooding half-werewolf, half-vampire with deadly secrets, Kai must navigate his first mission: resolving a volatile feud between magical factions in the heart of Antigua.
But as the team uncovers the darker side of their mission, the shadows of betrayal loom large. With political unrest threatening the fragile peace, Kai realizes that being a guardian of the sky is far more dangerous than he ever imagined.
In a world where airships rule the skies and magic is the key to survival, can the Aetherwing Brigade keep the peace, or will they be the spark that ignites a global war?
The Aetherwing Brigade is a thrilling blend of steampunk invention, historical intrigue, and magical adventure-a tale of unlikely heroes, fierce friendships, and sky-high battles that test their resolve to the very core. They are "Guardians of the Sky, Keepers of Peace."

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete

The Awakening: Rise Of The Elementals
For centuries, the balance of the world has been protected by the Celestial Guardians-beings gifted with the power of the elements, sworn to keep chaos at bay. But when one of their own, Eden, betrays them and steals the Celestial Tome, the sacred artifact that holds the universe's secrets, the Guardians fall, and the world is left vulnerable. Now, five unsuspecting teenagers-Luna, Blaze, Juan, Bolden, and Zakari-find themselves chosen as the new bearers of the elemental powers. Bound by an ancient prophecy and thrust into a battle they never asked for, the group must navigate their newfound abilities, uncover the truth of their connection, and face trials that will test their unity, strength, and courage. As they awaken to their full potential, they discover the depths of their powers and the sinister plans of Eden, whose betrayal is only the beginning of a much darker threat. With each trial, they grow closer to uncovering the mysteries of their destiny-but also closer to awakening an ancient force more dangerous than they could have ever imagined. The first installment of the Awakening trilogy, The Awakening: Rise of the Elementals, is a gripping tale of friendship, courage, gay love(bxb) and self-discovery. Filled with action, humor, and heart, this story explores the power of unity and the price of defying fate. The battle for balance has begun, and the stakes have never been higher.

The Wright Way
Ethan Wright knows what's right and what's wrong. Homosexuality is wrong to him, but then, given the background he's coming (or, more precisely, running) from, he could hardly have formed a different opinion. He doesn't allow it to affect his actions, though. He is a firefighter, and he saves lives no matter how people choose to live them. There's just that one guy that he can't quite get out of his head. The guy that circumstances keep putting in his way. The guy that makes him feel... he's not sure, how. There's not much time for him to figure that out, for his past is about to catch up with him, putting more than just his life in danger, forcing him to face uncomfortable truths and make life-changing decisions. #1 in BXB on 2022-10-01 #2 in MANXMAN on 2022-10-01 *** WARNINGS: The story contains mature themes and language. Not suitable for children. Some chapters include violent and sexual content and may be triggering for some people. Read at your own discretion.

A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅
General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst. He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances. Oh...,**** Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery! This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart. Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way. CW: Violence, violent death (no main characters), homophobic society, internalized homophobia and closeting, internalized transphobia (supporting character), war veteran ptsd, slavery (supporting character - no abuse of this character is depicted and sentiments are anti-slavery), strong language, detailed sexual content (all consensual), discussion of sex work.Complete
