The Light of Aurevale

I spent my life hiding from the noise. Then the Iron Wall walked in and made it quiet.

THE CONDUIT They call me a hazard. A Class-5 energy spike. A bomb waiting to go off. I’ve spent years hiding in the bakery, gripping the counter to keep from exploding. I thought I was alone. I thought I was broken. Then Commander Darius Ironwall kicked down my door, looked me in the eye, and said one Mine. He didn’t come to save me. He came to contain me. But when he touches me, the pain stops. And for the first time in my life, I don't want to run.

THE MIRROR I am the city’s leash. I silence the magic before it kills the innocent. I am cold, precise, and void of feeling. Until her. Thea isn’t just a criminal I have to transport. She is a sun in a world of grey. She is the only thing that makes me feel warm. The Council wants me to lock her in the dark and drain her dry to power their machines. They forgot one I am the only one holding the leash. And if they touch her, I will let the city burn.

For fans of "Touch Her and Die," fated mates, and competency porn. This book features a brooding, possessive hero and the powerful heroine who brings him to his knees.
