Curious to know what it’s about?

They Come at Night

BOYS LOVE • ENEMIES TO LOVERS • MAGIC REALISM

Two kingdoms trapped in perpetual war. Two orphans who are lies. And monsters who slither forth from the shadows of night.

The magical war between the Kingdoms of the Dragokin and Unikin has raged for hundreds of years. But the horrors do not end there. For from the blood-drenched soil rises lindwurms who come at night.
