Fractureborne [MxM]

When Leo, a 22-year-old orphan scraping by in a dying dome city, wakes up to find half his world reduced to rubble, he thinks he's finally run out of luck. But instead of dying beneath concrete and steel, he's pulled from the wreckage by Callan Pierce, humanity's golden Aegis pilot and a man who never breaks protocol... until now.

Dragged into a hidden resistance base, Leo becomes the center of a dangerous new program: bonding human pilots with Nephilim cores to power the next evolution of war machines. The catch? The bond is permanent and only works with someone you're biologically and emotionally compatible with.

Callan and Leo are the first match. Neither asked for this, and neither wants it, but the future of Earth may depend on what they become together.
