description: Having lived his entire life under the veil of the high sorcerers repression Wen Daneson grew up with a sword in his hand. Now at twenty-eight hes already earned the rank of second lieutenant in the draegan lords guard and been granted the privilege of sitting on the lords council of advisors. In spite of his achievements hes made a point of keeping his distance from personal relationships. Hes seen too many people develop close bonds and share their hearts only to have everything torn apart with one slash of a sword. Which is why his attraction to the human Wesley Brannock unsettles him so much. Theres something different about Wesley. Wen doesnt want to care about the younger man but when hes tasked with training the inexperienced yet naturally talented Wesley for a position in the guard being around him stirs powerful emotions he cant understand. Wesley grew up living in secluded villages learning at a young age to hide from prying eyes and keep to himself. Having spent most of his formative years with little company when the settlement where he lives is attacked by the sorcerers soldiers hes frustrated that he doesnt have the skills to fight back. The draegans who came to their aide encourage the residents to relocate to the draegan camp and when they do a new world opens to Wesley. Hes determined not only to learn how to protect himself but to join the draegan lords guard and be part of something that matters. But when hes paired with the passionately intense Lieutenant Daneson he begins to doubt whether hes suited for the guard at all. Not only does the lieutenant push him hard while never letting him close keeping Wesley constantly torn over his feelings for the man being around so many people after years of isolation makes it hard to keep the secret hes spent his whole life protecting. On the eve of war the two young men have to decide if facing their secret fears will destroy them or give them unexpected strength to face the coming darkness.
