    Summary

    Eleven has been dead for three years when Mike begins to feel her touch.

    At first, he thinks it is grief. Then he thinks it is hunger. Then he stops trying to name it at all.

    Whatever comes to him in the dark wears her shape, knows his body, and refuses to let him go.

    Summary

    When Mike and El break up at the end of the summer before leaving for separate colleges, it’s Mike’s idea. He doesn’t want to hold her back with long distance. He wants her to experience college freely, even if it means letting her go.

    Unfortunately, nobody warned him that watching his ex thrive on Instagram while pretending not to stalk her profile would be its own special kind of torture.

    Now Mike’s finding increasingly pathetic excuses to text her every time she posts, and El (much to his frustration and relief) always texts him back.

    Summary

    A paladin escorting his party north discovers an escaped mage hiding in the woods after violently tearing herself free from the cult that imprisoned her for years.

    Starved, traumatized, and carrying terrifying power in her veins, Eleven is exactly the kind of magic Mike was raised to destroy.

    Instead, after he insists his party take her in, the road stretches onward and her existence slowly dismantles everything he was taught about magic, corruption, and faith. Somewhere between shared campfires, whispered prayers, and the quiet terror of learning to trust each other, Mike finds himself falling for the very thing his order would condemn.

    Summary

    Settling on the stool next to Mike, Johánna remarks, “You have loved her a long time, yes?”

    Mike startles, head whipping to look at Johánna, who merely smiles at him in amusement around her sip of beer. He relaxes at the sight of her, clearing his throat as he nods. “Yeah. I’ve loved her since the day we met.”
