Mate's Mark Series by G. Eilsel

It's been almost a century since the veil fell and monsters invaded the world. We didn't give the humans an opportunity to retaliate as we charged in and took over, and I was at the head of the front lines with my sword in hand. A perfect soldier, fighting the battles that ultimately put my people in charge of this planet. Half of humanity was slaughtered, and in the decades since the invasion, things have only gotten worse... moreIt's been almost a century since the veil fell and monsters invaded the world. We didn't give the humans an opportunity to retaliate as we charged in and took over, and I was at the head of the front lines with my sword in hand. A perfect soldier, fighting the battles that ultimately put my people in charge of this planet. Half of humanity was slaughtered, and in the decades since the invasion, things have only gotten worse. Tensions between the rebel humans and monsters grew as the climate changed, and temperatures rose as resources dwindled. The sun scorched away plants and trees, leaving behind a husk of a planet where everyone fights for survival.The Fates were furious at our violence, and now we're trapped inside the hell we created.We've all heard tale of the Mate's Mark, and how we're destined to find our fated mate. One human, one monster - foretold to be the cure to this cursed world and repair the damage that has been done. What was once the cause of curiosity and intrigue has turned into nothing more than a mockery. Decades have passed, and not a single pair of fated mates had been found.Until now.Until me.Until the night I pull off my armor and find the mark staring back.Author's note: Ronan is a First Person Dual POV MM Monster Romance series with explicit content intended for readers 18+. It is the first in a series that will have an overarching storyline carrying between books. While this series ends with a guaranteed HEA, individual books end on more of a HFN basis. The feature couple's story will be resolved, though there will be some unanswered questions and mild cliffhangers that lead into the next in the series. less

For almost a century, we’ve believed the prophecy to be a hoax. The promise of Fated Mates being the cure to this ruined world was a beautiful story, a romantic lie told to keep us in line. Nothing more than an idyllic promise to make us work together.Only we never did, and the world only suffered more.Joining the military has turned my life into a monotonous cycle of schedule, routine, and order... moreFor almost a century, we’ve believed the prophecy to be a hoax. The promise of Fated Mates being the cure to this ruined world was a beautiful story, a romantic lie told to keep us in line. Nothing more than an idyllic promise to make us work together.Only we never did, and the world only suffered more.Joining the military has turned my life into a monotonous cycle of schedule, routine, and order. Day after day, I wake at the same time, and wear the same uniform, and stare at the same power-hungry faces I’ve been commanded by for decades. Days blur into weeks, and weeks turn into years where it feels like nothing ever happens. Nothing ever changes.Until the day it does….The prophecy is real, my best friend has disappeared with his mate, and now I’m here, alone, keeping my last promise to him. Protect August.It’s not hard to track him down, but the human is the last thing I expected. August, a medic, is confined to a cell with the rest of his rebel friends, but despite this waste of a world and the terrible things he’s seen in this life, he’s good. Sunshine and smiles, endless curiosity and infallible happiness. He views the world with a positivity I can’t figure out, and it pulls me into his gravity, eliciting conflicted feelings that have no place in a warrior like me.In a life that’s riddled with darkness, August is light, and I can’t seem to look away from his glow.Author's note: Elas is a First Person Dual POV MM Monster Romance series with explicit content intended for readers 18+.
