BLURB:
Two boys, one heroic bond, and the molding of Greece’s greatest son.
Before he became known as Alexander the Great, he was Alexandros, the teenage son of the king of Makedon. Rather than living a life of luxury, as prince he has to be better and learn faster than his peers, tackling problems without any help. One such problem involves his increasingly complicated feelings for his new companion, Hephaistion.
When Alexandros and Hephaistion go to study under the philosopher Aristoteles, their evolving relationship becomes even harder to navigate. Strength, competition, and status define one’s fate in their world—a world that seems to have little room for the tenderness growing between them.
Alexandros is expected to command, not to crave the warmth of friendship with an equal. In a kingdom where his shrewd mother and sister are deemed inferior for their sex, and his love for Hephaistion could be seen as submission to an older boy, Alexandros longs to be a human being when everyone but Hephaistion just wants him to be a king.

In other words, humanity’s odds aren’t looking great.
When hunter, David Tresser, pairs up with a High Demon, he knows he’s in over his head. Of course, there are worse positions to be in, like Henry, whose girlfriend hasn’t been seen since the demonic attacks began, or the psychic Cassandra, who has become a target of those very demons herself. As this motley crew teams up, trust is slow to be gained…but they really have no choice when the world around them is falling apart at the seams. In the midst of it all, Tresser finds himself curiously drawn to the demon he’s not even sure he can trust.
After an exorcism gone terribly wrong, the team is left with no choice. To save their worlds, and themselves, they’ll have to travel into the darkest part of Hell: the Pits of Gehenna, from which no one has ever returned.

For the most part, I’ve gotten used to people staring at my burn scars. It’s not really something I can hide and though most people try to hide their reaction, I get human nature grabs the eyes and holds on tight when something is different. Usually, I just ignore it. But there are still times when the unwanted attention of others can really hurt. Like when they curl their lip or show disgust. Or when the first guy you ever really wanted to impress spends the first hour in your company failing at not getting caught staring at your scars. Rowe Belk is simply not a subtle man. What he is though, is someone who might just be too sweet for a world like ours, and I vow to myself that I will find a way to make him see past the scars to a man who would do anything to keep his amazing heart protected and safe.
Rowe Belk
Shy doesn’t even begin to describe me. I’m also awkward and a little weird. I’m always getting made fun of for not wanting to kill bugs and have even had more than one person get mad at me for it. Most people take one look at my size and just assume I’m a certain way, only to be disappointed when they find out I’m nothing like what they expected. I would give anything to be able to disappear in a room, but I’m kinda hard to miss, given my size. The first time I meet my mate, I literally don’t notice the scars at first. I notice the way he carries himself. The authority he gives off, the energy. I notice his sweet scent, and lovely eyes. I know as a chosen, he needs to be protected from men who hunt people like him as part of a competition that feeds something much worse, but as I get to know him better, I realize, though I may be protecting him physically, he’s actually the one taking care of me, and it’s everything I’ve ever wanted in my life.

Although, Lowen was fairly sure, even dressed in black, he would have noticed Blue.
