Is love powerful enough to conquer eternal duty?

Ever since his rebirth as a Celestial, Sarilian has held fast to his vows to protect Allaria from the relentless armies of the Void. But when a harrowing battle goes awry, he finds salvation in the most unlikely of sources: a brooding Infernal who has long since given up.

Malorg lost faith in his eternal vigil centuries ago. Why bother resisting the Void's inevitable triumph when all efforts lead to loss? Yet, a chance encounter with a naive Celestial rekindles parts of himself he'd thought forever buried.

Faced with the ever-looming threat of the Void and the ceaseless machinations of their kin, Sarilian and Malorg struggle to nurture their nascent bond. But the Immortal Realm offers little refuge for an Infernal and Celestial, and it will take every ounce of their strength and courage to transcend the shackles of duty and forge a new covenant of the heart…

Centuries ago, daemons drove humanity to the brink of extinction. Serenity Corp's discovery of bondstones—mystical gems that enslaved these formidable creatures to fight on behalf of their human masters—turned the tide. Since then, Serenity Corp's monopoly on daemon bonding has ensured their unrivaled dominance…until now.

Adrian used to dream of following in his parents' footsteps and defending civilization from the wild daemons that continue to threaten it. Unfortunately, his weak aether seemed to leave him unfit for anything but catching strays. Resigned to mediocrity, he carries out his duty while trying to ignore the townsfolk's pity and his ex-friend Seymour's sneering contempt.

Everything changes when a routine assignment thrusts him into the midst of a conspiracy seeking to cover up a new way of bonding daemons—one that doesn't strip them of their free will. Suddenly society's most wanted fugitive, he finds himself on the run armed with nothing but his newfound knowledge, his daemons, and an uneasy alliance with Seymour.

Venturing into the wilds, Adrian is determined to master this new bond and strengthen his aether. Confronted by terrifying monsters, a relentless assassin, and enigmatic magic, he must rely on his daemons and Seymour if he hopes to survive.

But can Adrian truly alter the course of the ceaseless conflict between humans and daemons…or will he prove to be the failure he's always feared?

What would you do if you woke up one day and discovered your entire life was a lie?

Madly in love, Benjin and Haldric share a perfectly ordinary life together in their remote cabin far removed from any troubles. At least, that's what they believe right up until the moment an army of royal guards arrives on their doorstep.

Whisking Haldric away, the guards claim this idyllic life is nothing but an illusion—the effect of some dark spell. Haldric is actually the prince, heir to the kingdom's throne…and Benjin is the lowborn mage's apprentice who cursed him.

With everything they thought they knew thrown into question, Benjin and Haldric must dive into their shared pasts in order to uncover the truth. But even as they relive the chain of events that brought them to this point, one looming question remains:

Is their love real enough to survive whatever the future holds?
