Till the Day We Can - Book 1 (A thread. A death. A pledge.)

Inspired by Wu the series. Nani is Xal and Sky is Kian.

Xal had stopped believing in fate or anything that lies beyond death. With one more failed interview away from disappointing his relatives, he meets Kian: a quirky shaman, the last healer of Vyl clan, who claims they are bound by a rare white thread of trust unseen by ordinary eyes.
Kian offers him a job as his bodyguard. The catch? Death doesn't end at burial. And six years ago, it did not take Xal's little sister by natural means.
She was killed by Khem, a powerful entity who spreads a deadly spirit illness through enslaved spirits called Neitoloums.
Their bond through the rare white thread grows stronger as they defeat Neitoloums, heal people, and chase answers that slip like smoke through their fingers. For Xal, revenge burns constantly. For Kian, it becomes the only thing he lives for when a dark family secret finally surfaces.
Some bonds are worth fighting for. Some are worth dying for. And some are worth living for. As Khem's true plan emerges, they must make a decision that will either protect or shatter everything they've sworn to protect.
Bound by newfound purpose and carrying wounds neither fully understand, Xal and Kian begin a journey that may either save or destroy them.
A dark fantasy of death, life, love, and the scars we carry as humans. Perfect for lovers of stories where healing and fantasy walk hand in hand.
