Slave Rising

I hope you enjoy the first of an exciting series! The Chronicles of Darius Book One: Slave Rising. An action-packed work of fantasy full of emotion and relationships. This is an M/M LGBTQ love story. Darius I ve never been the norm. I was brought to a palace in ancient Persia to become a slave for the king s two older boys. He told them he was adding a son, and they would call me brother. Everything the old king said was a lie. It will take years for them to realize Father s true intent on bringing me to the palace. It was Father s first mistake because my adopted brothers would give me the family I crave and would always depend on. On the way back from a battle in the middle of the night, destiny called to me in the form of distance music in a far-off cave. A dagger suspended in a blue flame started my journey into a world of wizards, warriors, and a clan and mate that will become known throughout the universe FinnalI ve watched the end of our race. I might prefer men, but I look like a warrior, and I won t stand around and watch someone I care about being bullied. When Darius walked onto our planet, I knew he was the man I wanted. Maybe our rules for being with someone differ, but he s from Earth, has a scruffy beard, and has fought in wars. So why do I always sidestep, questioning him if he would like me instead of Meara? Is it because we mate for life and for a race considered immortal that can be an eternity if you choose wrong? Perhaps it is my own background. I just know I need to be near him to protect and love him; hopefully, he will be mine to call a mate one day.
