After being rejected by the man he thought he'd marry, Jesse travels to DeiganLupus for the Grey Moon Ceremony. However, when the ship he was supposed to take is lost at sea, he boards the Silver Treader to reach his destination. But the Galleon turns out to be carrying more than military and medical supplies, and the prisoner in the brig knows his name.

- ⥽ ◯ ⥼ -

Without the determination or skillset to join his family's hunting business, Omega wolf Jesse makes a last-ditch effort to find his life's meaning. He travels to DeiganLupus for the Grey Moon Ceremony, a yearly celebration where most rejected and unwanted wolf walkers like him find their soulmates. However, not only is the ship he was supposed to take lost at sea, but the only way to get there is on board a military vessel carrying supplies...and a dangerous prisoner.

The moment Jesse boards, his instincts warn him of nearby danger, but they also urge him to follow a mysterious voice echoing through the vents. After crossing paths with Ross, a wolf walker on trial for the murder of hundreds of his own kind, Jesse's objective to reach DeiganLupus is overshadowed by the possibility that this criminal might be the very wolf he'd come looking for.

But when he learns that Ross is the Alpha of an outlawed pack that his family have been hunting for years, he is faced with a gut-wrenching decision: hand over his mate and hope it's enough to prove his worth to his family, or stick with the man whose soul is tied with his and turn his back on his family for good.

Lachesis, the goddess of fate, made an egregious mistake when she prematurely took Kai's life. As a celestial apology, she drops him into a world inspired by his favorite book, where figure skating reigns supreme, love engages in battles of wit, and second chances carry an icy price.... more>>

Kai Ito, whose life had been a struggle with pain and illness, anticipated nothing more than eternal darkness following his abrupt departure at the tender age of 19. However, he awakens in the enchanting universe of "Ice Heart," a web novel that had been his refuge during the relentless hospital stay.

Entrapped within a narrative mirroring his own world, Kai confronts an imposing challenge. To earn a second lease on life. To do so, he must glide through the frosty terrain of unrelenting ambition and treacherous competition.

His nemesis? None other than the novel's infamous villain, Toma Mizushima—a character as beguiling as he is wicked.

As Kai wrestles with his own identity in this frozen tapestry, he discovers that rewriting the script of "Ice Heart" holds the key to his salvation. Yet, the path forward is as perilous as ice on thin water.

Toma's nefarious plots have cast a shadow over the world of figure skating, and Kai must outmaneuver the very character he once admired from the sidelines. <<less

Noah did not understand what was happening to him.
Every time he left his house, he sees the boy in a denim jacket standing in the middle of the street. When he was at work, an image of him appeared in the reflections of every mirror.

A fantasy m/m comedy with sci-fi elements. Book One of
the Cosmos Shared Universe is a place which
is not as desolate as it appears.... more>>

Can you bottle happiness? Apparently, you can, and Constantine Angelid is rather good at it, actually. So good, in fact, that it amuses him to ply this trade on a forum in the Dark Web. Yet, he meets an interesting human there, who makes him question all of his truths.
Daniel was just looking for fresh ideas in the Tor browser for his new book. Now, he is involved in the new Dimensional Theory, and the case for disappearing happiness potions that spans all over the Cosmos.
He is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come to Ursula 590, a planet in the Ursula Solar System. He gets to be with Constantine, once he finds out he is not only a shaman, but a shaman that can use the core of a planet to power up his spells.
I wrote this last year so I don't remember much about what happened in the book, but I do know it is in 1st person with POVs. The book is complete, and will be updated daily, until I run out of chapters. Enjoy!
The Cosmos Shared Universe is made up from 3 books, which will be posted here in this book page:
Bottle it up!
Dungeon Integration! (dungeon core)
Book Two of the Cosmos Shared Universe
(Sequel to Bottle It Up!)
An m/m fantasy novel with sci-fi elements,
and comedic undertones.
In a world where happiness can be bottled, a dungeon core is displaced from his home when a baby dungeon core sprouts in his backyard.
He’s lucky that a human who is also an immigrant in the Cosmos has grown attached to him. Nathaniel agrees to help Tim spread his influence over the planet Ursula 590.
The problem? Well, dungeon cores might be as numerous as mushrooms in the New Cosmos, but they are unknown in the Cosmos. From petitions to kidnapping attempts, the integration of one World Dominating Dungeon Core has never been as complicated. And, if he can’t win the citizens of Ursula 590 over, then, he will be cast out into outer space.
From Scorpio with Love! (dungeon core)

Rodger Deltona is appalled at the actions of his fellow citizens of the Cosmos. Not only are they demanding that the Dru’dru are to give back the gold left on their planet, they are also demanding that the Dru’dru penguins be reprogrammed, and without a trial.
Rodger takes radical actions, in defense of the poor birds. But is he enough to hold back the tides? Can he and Wei work together, despite their rocky start? Will the Cosmos accept a chimera species, the product of human experimenting? <<less
