Moonlight Garden

Song of the Gardener of Souls [BL]

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?"

Wings & Weapons

What happens when you take everything a common man holds dear, the very light of his life? Cry? He does. Feel helpless? Of course. Regrets? Definitely! But it doesn't stop there. A monster is awakened within him. A monster that cares for nothing but madness. This is a story of a powerless man going against the power of gods with nothing but a shotgun. Zeph is an ordinary salaryman with a simple, unremarkable life - going to office and enjoying quiet evenings with his wife, Renna. For him, nothing is more fulfilling than his simple life with his dear wife. But in this world, Thear, not everything is as peaceful because mysterious powers shape this realm. Among them are Angels and Fiends, followers of gods. Some use their power for greater good, while others create chaos. Still, for Zeph, they are either momentary whispers or distant myths. Until one night. That night, his peace is torn apart by a group of shadows with unknown but undeniably powerful origins. Renna is captured, and having his only shine in life taken away, he breaks. Barely surviving the onslaught, the man who once found comfort in the quiet simplicity of his life, now finds himself devoured by rage. Driven to save her, Zeph picks up a gun and goes on a violent, maddening revenge. --- "Corpse, you know what will happen to your wife? How do you feel? Dead and helpless?", the shadow hisses. I look up, my blood heating up with rage. A faint illusion of golden wings appears behind my back. My legs tremble, but not my voice. "Run and hide, rats... But remember. One day, I will knock at your doors. Each of yours... And when I do, you will feel a fear that destroys all your peace. Just like you did to me. And you are the first in line, snake." --- If you like my story, please leave a review. So that I may know where I am lacking and how I can improve. Thank you.
