Darkness Falling (Light Up the Dark, #1)

2023 | LGBTQ+ | Paranormal | Romance

When the world goes dark, can true love light the way?

Lex

I seem like the luckiest witch in the world. Despite him being a straight and human mage, the love of my life, my soulmate, Mike, has agreed to ritually bind our lives together. As excited as I am to join the elite Magic Corps with him, I’m terrified we’ll be dragged into a brewing war between humans and supernaturals. How can I ask for more than friendship from Mike when he’s already given up his family and his whole world for me?

Mike

Choosing Lex over the human world is easy. Even if our soulbond is a platonic one, I’ve never doubted that my place in life is by his side. I always thought magic and friendship would be enough to see us through, even against my dad’s homophobia and hatred of supernaturals. Then again, I didn’t expect to start wanting Lex or that “us against the world” would be so literal.

And that’s before the explosions start.

We’ve always known we have a third soulmate somewhere in the world, looking for us. As the world ends, the only way we can survive is to stick closer together and hope our missing piece can join us before it’s too late.
