Arcane Secrets

I want a future with all three of my men. Someone has put a deadline on mine.

There's a price on my head, darkness in my veins, and no one at Magic Guardian Academy can explain what's happening to me.

My guardians want me to stop hiding and let them help.

They're right. Which would be easier to admit if I weren't keeping a secret that could destroy their trust in me.

I've let these men into my bed, my heart, and every plan I'm almost afraid to make. I want the arguments over nothing. The nights nobody has to stand guard. The chance to love all three of them without wondering who we'll lose next.

But one of my men came back from the enemy's grasp changed. I want to reach him. Hold him. Believe we can get through this together.

And I'm struggling to control the darkness inside me well enough to help him face his own.

Our enemies are counting on us to break. Every secret I keep gives them another chance, but telling the truth means letting my men see the parts of me I'm still afraid to face.

I can't keep asking them to trust me while deciding what they're allowed to know.

If we're going to survive this together, I have to stop hiding from the people I want to come home to.

Arcane Secrets concludes the Magic Guardian Academy trilogy.
