About the Book

A coming-of-age fantasy with powerful LGBTQ+ romance, dangerous secrets, and a world on the edge of war.

In a world built by magic and ruled by tradition, sixteen-year-old Tobin Ammagan never expected to find love-or war.

At Steelblade Academy, Tobin and his best friend Colin have trained in the arcane arts since childhood. Their bond is unbreakable... and growing into something more powerful than either of them ever imagined. But their magical connection isn't just rare-it's dangerous. In a society bound by ancient rules and a rigid caste system, their love could ignite rebellion... or doom them both.

As political unrest spreads and creatures of the dark stir once more, Tobin and Colin are thrust into a conflict they aren't ready for. Werewolf attacks, forbidden potions, and secrets hidden in the forest all point to one terrifying truth: a war is coming, and their bond may be the key to saving-or destroying-the realm.

On Malati, loyalty is tested, love is power, and magic is more than just a gift-it's a choice.

★ Perfect for fans of LGBTQ+ epic fantasy, magical duels, and found family adventures
★ Features a gay romance, a richly built magical world, and high-stakes rebellion



About the Author :
Midwestern-Born. Faith-Inspired. Stereotypes Not Included. James Matthews writes fiction that bridges generations and genres. Born at the edge of Gen X and the start of the Millennial era, he brings a unique perspective shaped by a Midwestern upbringing, a strong faith, and a passion for storytelling. His work-spanning general fiction, science fiction, and fantasy-is known for centering strong, non-stereotypical gay protagonists who take the lead rather than fade into the margins. Whether he's writing, out in nature with his partner of ten years, or fixing anything from HVAC systems to vintage MP3 players, Matthews is driven by curiosity, creativity, and faith. His writing is often accompanied by an unpredictable playlist that might shift from Troye Sivan to Weird Al, with a detour through Libera, Tesla, or even Alvin and the Chipmunks. If you're looking for stories that challenge expectations, bring underrepresented voices to the forefront, and offer both entertainment and reflection, you'll find something here. James Matthews' books promise characters who defy stereotypes-and stories that stay with you long after the last page.
