A book lover with a secret. A warrior with a guarded heart. A kingdom that fears magic... Rowan is a libriomage, a warlock who can absorb magic from written words. Oliver is a knight with a gruff disposition, self conscious and sullen due to the arm he lost in a war between mages and humans. When their paths cross in the island kingdom of Centaura, their attraction to each other is immediate and consuming. Further complicating matters is Oliver's best friend, the rebellious King Niklas, who begins competing with him for Rowan's affections. But Rowan - handsome, mysterious, and honest only when convenient - has more to worry about than two potential suitors. A sinister force is descending upon Centaura... and it wants him dead. The libriomage soon discovers he's just a pawn in a much larger game, and he must make a choice or risk losing everything. A fantasy M/M romance full of adventure, intrigue, and flirtation.
