Summary
Nathaniel has spent years surviving the Moriyama court by enduring Prince Riko’s cruelty and keeping his world as small as possible. Mostly, that means Jean and their promise to survive together. For a long time, it had been enough to get through one day and then the next.
But Riko’s experiments on Nathaniel start to go right in horrifying ways and Nathaniel realizes he only has two choices- break the one promise that has kept him and Jean alive by leaving him behind, or stay and become a weapon Riko can use to destroy the country.
The only person who might be able to help is an insolent Druid elf locked deep in Evermore’s dungeons.

Summary
His skin still felt tight. The interaction with the runner, with Neil, had left a lingering, jittery friction under his fingernails. Andrew hated variables, and he hated being perceived. His mind was firing too fast, cataloging the scars, the fake eyes, the ginger roots. He needed something to dull the noise.
Or
A sort of meet-cute, which is not at all cute.

Summary
Neil was always going to run, the choice to reveal his name and hidden designation never should've swayed Andrew, but they had.
Neil had swayed him, and now Andrew can only reckon with the fact that he was stupid enough to want again.
It's those thoughts that are circling his head when the car pulls up. It's not smooth, he watches as the driver goes over the curb, though Andrew doesn't care enough to tell them off for their horrible park job.
Not until Neil fucking Josten practically collapses out of the driver's seat, beat to all hell and with red hair to boot.
Andrew is at his side before his conscious mind realizes, his body already having made the choice for him. He smells blood, and fear, but they're overpowered by the sweet scent of strawberry sorbet pouring out from Neil's neck.
His mouth starts to water as Neil practically folds into his arms, pupils blowing wide as he catches the heat scent of slick in the air. He has a second to curse before Neil is looking up at him, glazed eyes blinking heavily before getting stuck on Andrew's face.
"Andrew," He says his name like no one else ever has, possibly ever will.

Summary
Neil Josten would never have willingly involved himself in a war—no one in his family would.
But military enlistment is mandatory for all eighteen-year-olds.
The Military Institute is known for creating soldiers ready to kill and die, trained to obey without question. That is where Neil is being sent against his will, along with thousands of other disposable youths.
Raised by the resistance, Neil spent his life learning to survive without relying on his ability—a power that demands far too high a price to be used. A power the government would do anything to control.
As he struggles to survive the Institute, Neil begins to realize that there is more at stake than war. The system that turns young people into weapons hides something greater—something that could cost far more than lives.
And the more he refuses to obey, the harder the system tries to break him.

Summary
Neil was the pervasive lie Andrew foolishly allowed himself to indulge. A person who would stay? Fairytale. It wouldn’t last.
Forevers didn’t exist for him.
With graduation on the horizon, Andrew leaves Neil before Neil can leave him. But after a year, he starts to wonder if maybe he was wrong. Maybe he can have it all.
