When I finally decide to let him in, somehow he becomes not just my best friend, but my whole world.

From the moment Creole Williams met Audric Ingram, they were inseparable. But not the way one would think. They shared a best friend. What they did not do, however, was like each other. You could say that it was a war to win the best friend title. The only problem was, their best friend would never choose a clear winner. So they spent their teenage years fighting it out. What Audric didn’t know, though, was that Creole was desperately in love with him. The same went for Audric. He wanted Creole more than his next breath. But it was never the right time.

Nathanial Kane had read it all before. It said they had centuries. The demons arrived in ten years. He'd been counted among the strongest. It had all been for nothing. He'd witnessed Earth's end. While dying, Nathan reviewed the only unique spell he'd ever found in the tower. He cast Rebirth.

But peace doesn’t last long. Nyco’s song has started to echo through the world, calling his fallen comrades from beyond the ruins. If the melody is real, it means there are other survivors from Ohsheit’s fallen world… and they might hold the key to stopping the Phenomenon once and for all. Getting there, though? That’s going to be hell.

A small peaceful planet that is about to have the full force of both sides of the war deployed across its rolling green hills and endless sea of forests.

Judge Samuel Kavanaugh took one look at Eden Powers and knew she would be his. Everything about her screams off limits. I don't do romance with my coworkers. That's a rule I've never broken. Then, there's the fact that I'm fifteen years her senior. The warning bells are going off, but I'm ignoring them. Nothing will stop me from making that curvy court reporter mine.

As far as he, or anyone else knows, humanity has no army, no weapons, and no wars.

Yet while they are both there as peacekeepers, they are not there to help each other.
