An M/M fantasy story from Raythe REign
Best friends Declan and Finley’s normal lives ended the day the Leviathan broke through to Earth. Only the arrival of the Sun Elves–and their powerful King Aquilan–saved humanity and drove the Leviathan back into the Under Dark.
Now Declan, Finley and the rest of the survivors find themselves in a new world full of magic and danger where elves, dwarves and other high fantasy beings are real and their neighbors. Whether the humans or the high fantasy beings want it or not!
Working at a dwarven tavern, Declan wants to keep a low profile, but when he starts exhibiting dark powers no human should have, he draws the interest of the Sun King himself.
Aquilan, the Sun King, in turn finds himself captivated by the supposedly human young man, and determines to uncover the truth behind Declan’s powers, even if that truth makes Declan his enemy.
In turn, Finley desperately wants to be the first ever human to gain magical abilities. He finds an unlikely ally in this quest in the Sun King’s rakish best friend Lord Rhalyf. But is Rhalyf’s help born out of kindness for an underdog or because he has reasons of his own to stay close to Finley?
Whatever the answers, Declan, Finley, Aquilan and Rhalyf are running out of time to learn the truth, because in the dark the Leviathan wait…

Meet The couple: Aquilan & Declan
After his heroism in battle on Earth against the dread Leviathan, Aquilan was chosen to be the new king of the Sun Elves and bring peace and order to the world of dwarves, elves, orcs, fairies, and humanity. His duty to his people is strong, but is it strong enough to resist seeking the companionship of Declan, a mysterious human server at a dwarven tavern?
Declan, a human with a painful sun allergy, is one of the few human survivors of the Leviathan. After his world is torn apart, he manages to find a place for himself at a dwarf-owned tavern as a bouncer and bartender because of his unusual strength and reflexes. He knows that there is no future for him and the king of the Sun Elves, but when he meets Aquilan, he’s like a moth drawn to a flame.
Meet the couple: Rhalyf & Finley
Finley, Declan’s best friend, has also carved out a place for himself among the nonhuman world… running roleplaying games! What he wishes most of all is to study at the mages’ school. Even though humans have no ability for magic themselves, he still wants to learn about magic and hasn’t given up hope that it may be possible for a mortal. Unfortunately, the elven scholars do not agree, and his efforts are dismissed.
Rhalyf is Aquilan’s best friend and one of the most powerful mages in the elven world. But this is because he’s keeping a painful secret: he is one of the Night Elves, masters of wartime magic and the Sun Elves’ traditional enemies. If his secret were to get out, not only would it would hurt Aquilan terribly, but he’d be rejected by the society he’s helped to shape. When he meets Finley, he doesn’t believe that it’s possible for a human to have magic, he’s still impressed by Finley’s dedication.
