Zen is a darkling　half human, half dark elf　in a world that hates him, protected only by having been raised by the Order of the Sun to become a priest. He continues to fail to rise above being an acolyte despite having come of age and longs for a different life, one he only glimpses in dreams when he is with a mysterious, beautiful man he wishes was real.

After encountering an adventuring party made up entirely of other half-races, Zen is drawn to accompany them on their quest to find and destroy a fabled vampire lord. However, the pull he feels toward those lands might be more fated than he realizes.

COURTED BY THE DIVINE

Dax was always second best among the acolytes of Aphrodite, destined to remain in the shadow of his friend and rival, Aikos, when the time came for them to ascend as courtesans. But while Aikos sought freedom to serve many and no one through his favored tenet of their goddess—desire—Dax seeks another domain.

Love.

The god Apollo is broken and lonely after countless loses of mortal lovers, thinking his heart beyond repair. Or he did, until Aikos led him to a prophecy of a possibly mended future.

Where Aikos indulged in divine desires, Dax and Apollo choose courtship. Can they beat the odds against them of attaining love between mortal and god, or will the pasts that haunt them define their forever after?

Giving tours of the city's brothel underground while dressed as historical icon, Mad Madame Mattie, is the only time Jeffrey feels close to being in his right skin. It still isn't his true self—he isn't sure he knows who that is—but when dwindling sales and expanding gentrification threaten to take his safety net and sanctuary away from him, he will do anything to keep it.

Including making a pact with the incubus he finds chained in the tunnels.

Odai has served many masters and mistresses over the centuries, including Madame Mattie, but never before has one captured his attention so fully or given him hope that maybe, finally, he might have found the one who can free him from his torment. Every wish he grants only grows his desire to grant more and to nourish himself on the desires of the flesh that Jeffrey offers him.

He can only hope that Jeffrey will ask the right questions quickly enough to save himself from the doom that has befallen all masters before him.

It's not easy being someone's fairy tale.

Leigh Hurley is making a name for himself among thieves and criminals, even if it isn't the life he would have chosen. Screwing over the Moretti brothers, however, might be his worst call yet.

Sinking to the bottom of the river with weights on his ankles one minute, the next, Leigh finds himself on the riverbank, somehow having escaped certain death. All he remembers is a beautiful face and a soft kiss that he cant be sure he didnt hallucinate.

Then Tolomeo turns up naked at Leigh's apartment.

Tolly comes from a race of killers　merfolk who drown and torment humans for fun. He alone is different, and when he sees a human in trouble, instead of letting him perish, Tolly offers a kiss, granting Leigh the ability to breathe underwater, and himself the ability to walk on land. At least until the next full moon.

The ancient laws state that if Tolly is given a vow of love by the one he kissed, he will be able to keep his legs. If not, he will be put to death when he returns to the water.

But love is not something Leigh offers easily, and Tolly has a secret of his own.
