Twisted Tome by Vanora Lawless
Devastating Magic, Book 2
A stubborn empath. A passionate dreamwalker. A love worth fighting for.
For empathic illusionist Warren ‘Sully’ Sullivan dreamwalking Captain Elliot Stone is more than the only thing keeping him sane and safe. He’s the keeper of Sully’s heart, even if he can’t seem to admit it out loud.
When an ancient grimoire infused with catastrophic magic comes into play, they’ve got to do everything in their power to keep it from landing in enemy hands. Unfortunately, that means working closely with a man who once shattered Elliot’s heart. Someone he would have done anything for.
As insecurity and fear threaten the fledgling relationship between Elliot and Sully, will the darkness closing in around them bring them closer or tear them apart forever?

Finishing up, Elliot flickered a beautiful smile at Sully, almost as warm as the tender care and concern he blanketed Sully in. Then he closed the distance between them, his mouth meeting Sully’s, brushing dry and sweet, right here in the same space where they ate meals with their team, where they planned their missions. A precious ache bloomed in Sully’s chest, completely indescribable. Because being with Elliot felt so right, so wonderful, and safe, and so few people would understand.
Hell, Sully barely understood the way he felt for Elliot, and he’d had months now, living and working with him, to wrap his head around the things Elliot did to his heart. And all he knew was he wanted more. Wanted Elliot badly, desperately, in a thousand inexplicable ways. All the goddamn time.
So as Elliot started to pull back, Sully cradled his face and dragged him in again, deepening the kiss. The sparks of joy Elliot set off dazzled him like pure happiness tickling Sully’s skin, making him grin against Elliot’s mouth.
“What?” Elliot murmured, leaning away to peer at him, mirth dancing in his eyes.
“Just you,” Sully replied, beaming brighter. “I don’t know if you know this, but I sorta like you.”
“Good, because I love you.”
A blush burned from the tips of Sully’s ears, down his throat. He didn’t know how Elliot could say it so easy. As much as Sully wanted to, he’d never managed to get it out—not waking. He trusted Elliot, he did. But his mind got in the way of his heart, and the words never made it past his lips, no matter how much he wanted to give them up too.
“Elliot,” Sully whispered uncertainly.

A drafted empath. A dreamwalking poet. A world at war.
Chicago, 1917.
Idealistic, aspiring poet, Elliot Stone can make people feel euphoria or horror with a simple touch. But that’s only part of his magical abilities. He can also wake in the dreams of people he cares deeply for.
Stubborn, fiercely independent Warren “Sully” Sullivan is an illusionist with a secret of his own: he feels the emotions of others as visceral sensations. That, and a lifetime of fending for himself, has left him guarded.
On their last night of freedom before shipping off to training—military and magic—Elliot and Sully indulge in an explosive, emotional night together. Elliot assumes it’s a one night stand and nothing more, until he awakens in Sully’s nightmare. The urge to rescue Sully is impossible to resist. And when dream-Sully begs him to keep coming back, something Sully would never do while awake, Elliot can’t resist that either.
As real life draws them into battle, their shared dreams become a refuge that only Elliot recalls. So when Elliot has the opportunity to recruit Sully to the secret elite unit of magical soldiers he leads, he’s willing to risk everything for the man he’s fallen in love with in dreams. But being away from the front lines doesn’t mean Sully’s safe. Now they battle enemies with twisted magic where their secrets are a liability.
Can they bring their dreams—and love—to life? Or will the war cost them everything?
