But when his cozy Friday night is shattered by a friend request on his book community app, politeness gives him little choice but to accept.

Summary: Politics taught him restraint. Love taught him who he would destroy. Lornyc Reagalos is judged a naïve young High Lord of Katraman: too young, too soft, too inexperienced to wield the power of his bloodline. His marriage to Methian is dismissed as nothing more than political convenience, a cold alliance meant to stabilise borders rather than ignite devotion. His rivals believe him harmless. They are catastrophically wrong. When Methian is kidnapped and vanishes without a trace, Lornyc’s composure shatters. Panic claws through him, his magic spirals out of control, and every restraint he has ever learned begins to fracture. There is no limit to what he will do to bring Methian home, and no mercy left for those who stand in his way. Taken beyond his world, Methian learns the truth. The Valen believe he is a dimensional aberration, the son of one of their own, stolen into the wrong reality. Stripped of everything familiar, Methian clings to a single, unyielding certainty. He will return to Lornyc. But bloodlines hide more than ancestry. Beneath the mage city of Beher, Lornyc uncovers an ancient magical barrier that has shackled the Reagalos for centuries. The revelation gives him the power to tear worlds open and reclaim Methian, but at a terrible cost. Can Lornyc control his fury, or will he unleash destruction so complete it could rip both himself and reality apart? Avarice  Reagalos Book Three is a high-stakes gay romantasy of buried secrets, volatile magic, and a love forged through separation. Where devotion becomes defiance, rescue becomes rebellion, and choosing each other may be the most dangerous act of all.

Summary: Worship binds. Love frees. Lornyc Reagalos has claimed his place as High Lord of Katraman and Liege of Scura, and he expects opposition, not devotion. So when a religious order called the Cerulean Cult proclaims him the One, he knows reverence is rarely without a price. The price is revealed during the cult’s Sanctification Ceremony, when a priest presents the orb that anchors Lornyc’s magic, then shatters it. The breach frees an unknown entity and tears open the fabric between dimensions. The Valen Council, arbiters of the worlds, give Lornyc a single command: find the entity, or lose his life. To survive, Lornyc must cross unfamiliar worlds where power and titles mean nothing. Only trust endures. At his side is his husband, Methian, his true love, who is steady through shifting ground and breaking realities, and the only one close enough to pull Lornyc back when magic threatens to tear him apart. As the hunt closes in, Lornyc learns the cost of failure has always been higher than death. His fate is not owned by a cult, a council, or prophecy, but losing would strip him of autonomy, future, and the life he is desperate to protect. The unknown does not ask whether he is strong enough to face it, only whether he is willing to lose everything that makes survival worthwhile. Idolatry, Reagalos Book Two, is a gay romantasy of devotion, inherited power, and the love that endures when belief becomes a weapon, and the world demands a god who is willing to break.
