The Dragon King has spent a thousand years acting as mediator between four squabbling races who are determined to destroy the world. But despite his great power, Galeath aches for the one thing he can't buy with his riches; love.

Four boys—an Empath, an Illusionist, a Druid, and a Thief—encounter a dragon and find much more than treasure.

Earth and World intersect; boys move from one to the other; familiar stories meet in unfamiliar ways, all ruled by magic.

Jiovanni Ward's world is falling apart. First, his father is murdered. Then, his mother develops a brain tumor that is slowly killing her, and while she lays dying, his blood begins to burn.

I can’t say how long I’ve wanted this, his lips on mine, his tongue in my mouth. And even as I’m thinking it, I can’t be sure if this is something I actually want or something he’s making me want. I try not to care, try to just ignore it, because he’s beautiful. He’s beautiful and terrible in the way of a massive thunderstorm, or a tidal wave, or another destructive force of nature. If I want him because he wants me to want him, I think I can live with that.

When you think all is lost, maybe that's when you find what you're looking for.

This is the story of Levi, an unusual vampire, and Matt and George, the men he loves.
