Rowan sees beauty in death. The Order he has sworn to obey only sees defilement.
As the reviled Caretaker of the Order, Rowan has accepted his role as a dutiful outcast because he believes it is the only way to prove his worth to the man who holds his sisters’ souls as collateral.
With his magic and his voice, Rowan can absorb death and transform it, but only in ways the Order deems acceptable to maintain the stability of the reality it claims to protect
Order must subdue Disorder. Reality must triumph over illusion. He is tainted and always will be.
Rowan has never questioned those lessons, but that changes the night he harvests a crimson soul that is more than human and chooses to keep it a secret.
When Rowan’s song transforms that soul into a beautiful and mysterious man he names Wren, he is forced to accept that sometimes duty is a lie and illusion is the only thing you can trust.
As the fabric of the Order begins to unwind and a new kind of Disorder takes hold, Rowan will need to choose again, stand with the Order that held him down, or forge a new path with Wren at his side.
He may be the only one who can restore balance to the worlds, but only if he can find balance within himself first.

Updates 3-4 times per week.
Note: This story focuses on relationships. I promise an epic romance, lots of swoon-worthy moments, and a healthy amount of fluff.
When it does get steamy…you might get burned. Fair warning for explicit content. I don’t shy away from my spice.
There are lots of side characters and couples to fall in love with, in addition to the main couple. If you love the idea of found family, you will be happy.
This book is set in a non-heteronormative world, so you will see various gender identities/expressions and types of love.

Excerpt (if you want the full steamy version, you will have to read the book!):
Still reeling from the new magic that coursed under his skin and unsure of how to react to the desire that threatened to take control of him, Rowan froze.
Wren's hot breath against his mouth sent a jolt of pleasure through his body, and he choked back a groan.
A different kind of panic flared in Rowan's chest, burning him as if he were the one on fire. This was what he wanted, what he'd thought about every night since Wren left.
But wanting more was one thing. Acting on it was another.
He'd spent so much of his life hiding, he didn't know how to do anything else.
One corner of Wren's mouth twitched as Rowan pulled away. When he attempted to free himself from Wren's grasp, Wren just hauled him closer.
Rowan liked that he didn't have to think about what to do next. His bare chest thudded against Wren's torso, and the heat from Wren's body merged with Rowan's skin, melting him from the inside out.
"What did you just do to me?" Wren's deep voice vibrated against Rowan's chest.
"The Disorder of your illusion was holding you captive. I…I absorbed it."
"Oh? Where did you learn to do that? Have I been gone that long?" Wren's grip loosened slightly on Rowan's wrists as if he was satisfied now that Rowan was practically sitting on top him.
Rowan stared at Wren's lips. He opened his mouth to protest, but immediately closed it again.
"I know you aren't going to say that I shouldn't touch you." Wren's free hand splayed over the small of Rowan's back. "Not when you started it."
Rowan's breath hitched. "No. I'm not going to say that anymore. Not to you."
"I thought you were afraid to be touched." Wren's fingers traced a circle over the curve of Rowan's spine as if testing for a reaction.
"I know that I'm not afraid of you." Rowan waited for the panic to set in, but all he felt was desire. "With you, I want…"
"You want what?"
"I want more."
Triumph flared in Wren's gaze before he narrowed his eyes. "Really? Then why are you still trying to get away from me?"
Trapped in a harsh life in Shanghai, Li Chen discovers he's the vessel for the ancient God of War. Armed with newfound strength, he confronts his oppressive in-laws and navigates the modern world. As he harnesses this power, he must protect his love and face those seeking to exploit his abilities.
Warning! Really heavy on the slice of life. Enjoy!

My 2nd book:
Legacy of Eldric.
A child from the lowest class of society, a simple G-class boy, will impose himself with his fists in a cruel world.
He will advance from the sewers and sewers to the top and fame, from class to class, only with his perseverance, his rage, and his ability to survive.
But getting out of the gutter is not easy, nor will the elites allow him to advance easily. Will his fists be able to impose himself on his cruel destiny?
In the ordinary world, Alexander Cage was anything but ordinary. A genius in every sense, he mastered skills that put him leagues above the average human—martial arts, biology, technology, logical reasoning, and beyond. With such unparalleled abilities, he led the World Association’s elite task force, handling missions no one else could survive. From high-stakes assassinations to saving hostages and tipping the scales in wars, Alexander was the “perfect human”—except for one missing piece: happiness.
Haunted by a life that had been nothing but duty, Alexander decided to leave it all behind. One last mission, he promised himself, and he’d retire to find a new life, a normal life. But fate had different plans. In his final mission, he sacrificed himself to save his team, his life slipping away with his dreams of peace unfulfilled.
Then, the impossible happened. Alexander awoke, not in the afterlife, but in a new world—a realm where magic, martial arts, alchemy, and ancient technology thrive together in breathtaking harmony. Reborn with all his memories, he is granted a mysterious “System” that promises him a fresh start and the power to shape his destiny. But as he navigates this strange world, battling villains, unraveling ancient secrets, and building alliances, he begins to realize he’s still missing something—the happiness and love he’s never known.
In a land full of wonders and dangers, Alexander will rise again, not just as a warrior but as a man searching for meaning. Will he finally find the happiness that eluded him in his past life, or will his pursuit lead him down darker paths? In a world as boundless as his own potential, only one thing is certain—Alexander Cage’s story has only just begun.
