My Prince wasn't actually a real Prince... and his father wasn't a real King... and his real name wasn't Elwyn. Jesus, who would call a kid that, other than maybe a screenwriter creating some medieval drama for the silver screen? Drama would eventually take my Prince to the pinnacle of his chosen profession. His story... our story... begins in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia.

A grumpy hedge knight desperate for a squire buys a blind stable boy for three years' wages. He expected useless. He got a boy who can hear lies in a man's voice, calm any horse with a touch, and navigate by sounds others miss. Now they're marching to crusade, surrounded by enemies who'd destroy them—if the magic rising in the East doesn't kill them first.

A carnivorous god is rising in Leamington Spa. His magical meat turns eaters into monsters, his pet plant just attacked a vegan café, and he's got his sights set on the undead boy who dared to choose tofu dogs over his "sacred" flesh. Now a philosophy professor in a teenager's body, his wrestler boyfriend, an anxious warlock with a dramatic demon in his head, and a sun-kissed cherub with a very personal grudge must burn Edgar's operation to the ground—before the whole town becomes his next meal.

Jace never thought he'd see Louis again, especially not at a wedding packed with old faces and even older drama. One encounter is all it takes for old feelings to come flooding back, making it impossible to pretend the past never happened. As the reception unfolds, Jace is forced to face just how much he's still carrying and, maybe, what he still wants.

Avery is a consultant and master of traveling light. A breakup sends him home to lick his wounds—a temporary situation, but aren't they all? The variable he didn't plan on is Dino, the high school jock turned divorced mechanic. Does their weekend fling have a future? Or will it end in another exit strategy?

Robbie is secretly in love with Mark but hides both his feelings and his sexuality to protect their friendship and the band they’ve built together. When Mark begins to suspect that Robbie might be gay, their friendship begins to shift and Mark is forced to confront feelings he never anticipated and question everything he thought he knew about himself.

Spanning more than ten years, the story follows their lives, their rise to fame, and the complicated evolution of their relationship as love, friendship, and ambition become impossible to separate.
