About this listen
A realm under siege. A mage caught between worlds. A bond that defies allegiance.
As demon hordes lay waste to human lands, Aric Solarian finds himself thrust into the heart of a war he once sought to prevent. The fall of Drindal marks only the beginning of a devastating assault that threatens to bring the human realm to its knees.
Caught between his duty to protect humanity and his growing connection to the enigmatic demon prince Malekith, Aric must navigate a treacherous path. Their forbidden bond deepens even as the lines of battle are drawn, challenging everything Aric once believed about his enemies.
But as a mysterious magical anomaly threatens both realms, Aric discovers that the key to salvation may lie in the very power he fears. Forced to undergo brutal trials that will test his loyalty and push him to his limits, Aric must decide how far he's willing to go to uncover the truth.
With time running out and the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, can Aric master his newfound abilities and find a way to bridge the divide between human and demon? Or will his dangerous obsession with forbidden magic be the undoing of everything he's fought to protect?
Trial by Fire is the first book in a darkly seductive M/M fantasy romance brimming with magical warfare, moral ambiguity, and scorching chemistry between a defiant mage and his demon prince captor. Vera Winters spins a captivating tale of power, betrayal and desire that will keep you spellbound until the last page.

The only human student at Mather's School of Magick, Phineas Smith has a target on his back. Born with the rare ability to tap into unlimited magick, he finds both Faerie Courts want his allegiance - and will do anything to get it.

Unseelie Prince Roark Lyne, Phineas's roommate - and self-proclaimed arch-nemesis - is beautiful and brave and a pain in the ass.

All I want is to leave my past behind and finally start living. My wish comes true in the most bizarre way imaginable. One evening, a beautiful man with pointy ears and flowing dark locks appears out of nowhere. He proclaims I am to be his 'Dark Companion' based on some stupid deal I made in a dream. Oh, and apparently he's an elven prince, the Lord of Shadows, Protector of the Nightmare Realm, and Knight of Grief Ocean.

Extremely weird character behavior and reactions, and stilted, difficult to follow conversations.... It's hard to even tell who exactly is going to be the villain this chapter..... If you just need something on in the background that is moderately interesting, go for it, but look elsewhere if you want a story you can make sense of or characters you care about.
