T’TELIR, capital of Hallandren, is a colorful city by the sea where gaily dressed crowds bustle through sunny streets and worship heroes who have been reborn as gods. Ruled by the silent, mysterious God King, the pantheon is nourished by offerings of Breath, the life force that keeps them alive and youthful. Exiled in Idris, the former royal family reluctantly betrothed a princess to the God King. Arriving in T’Telir, she finds both the city and the marriage are not at all as she expected. Her only ally is Lightsong, a god who is skeptical of his own divinity, who fears that war with Idris is inevitable. Meanwhile, another new arrival in T’Telir, one who bears the sentient sword Nightblood, makes cunning plans based on the unique magic of Hallandren — plans that could change the world. ************* I am not the author of this novel and take no credit for its creation.

Esperando ansiosamente, Brandon pensava em seu amado que havia partido para a guerra. Três longos anos foi o período que não o via. Eles se comunicavam às vezes por cartas, mas não era o mesmo que tê-lo ao lado em seu dia a dia. No entanto, o momento esperado havia chegado. O fim da guerra foi anunciado e era naquele dia que ele chegaria. Toda a mansão estava se arrumando para a chegada dos jovens mestres, e o casal Miller e o jovem James estava em frente a porta, pois foram informados que seu grupo havia chego às terras. Brandon não demonstrava o que realmente estava sentido em seu rosto, porém seu interior estava em um estado de euforia. E como se seus pensamentos felizes e animados fossem poeira ao vento, o que ele teve que ouvir foi chocante e perturbador para ele. O homem que ele amava estava noivo. * Desacreditado no que tinha ouvido da própria boca daquele que um dia amou lindamente, ele não conseguiu pensar além daquelas palavras. Como ele pensava que aceitaria aquilo? Era isso a extensão de sua consideração por ele? No fim, Brandon decidiu-se. Não havia como pensar, esquecer e até superar estando em tal lugar. Ele tinha que mudar. Um lamento cresceu em seu peito ao pensar nas pessoas com quem viveu por longos anos, mas era necessário para si e seu coração. O rapaz só não pensaria que ao se mudar, um lobo de olhos vermelhos eventualmente tomaria seu coração para si. {Boys Love | Fantasia Romântica}

Pack destroyed. Father dead, mother dead, sister dead. Little Brayden is left alone. If it weren't for the teenage Alpha that finds him and takes him in. Story excerpt As I run past the man I feel his arms take hold of me pinning me to him as he picks me up. "Let go of me! My father will kill you!" I scream. I kick at him but he holds me tightly. "He's the Alpha!" The man kneels down and I feel my feet touch earth. He continues to hold me tight. Eventually he loosens his grip not enough to free me just enough that he can look me in the eye. "Your father is gone." The man tells me. "No!" I yell at him. I swing as hard as I can punching the man in the chest. "I don't believe you!" I didn't see Daddy but he is a strong wolf! An Alpha! No way he is dead! I feel the tears run down my face as I look around. Fire, rubble, and death... everyone is gone. I fall into the man sobbing. I can't fight any more. My pack is dead. The man picks me up again carrying me to his car. "What's your name little guy?" He asks. I have a hard time making words through my tears. "B... Bray... Brayden." I stammer gripping his shirt. "Hello Brayden... I'm Alpha Aaron... I'm gonna take care of you." He says. This is backstory for Brayden from my book Alpha Lilly. This story runs from before Alpha Lilly until part way through Orphan Wolf so spoilers are certain for those books. I'd suggest reading them first but you don't have to.
