Armando Medina is closer to finding out the truth behind his most tragic loss. With his rise in status, he’s determined to leverage his influence to discover all the answers he needs.

Izdahl Amasi remains intent on helping Armando. Even so, Izdahl knows the strained relations between the seven ruling Nitelvosa Families present serious obstacles to his partner’s goal. To protect Armando, Izdahl must reawaken destructive abilities he’d hoped never to use again.

Armando and Izdahl now have the full attention of the most powerful Nitelvosa, and with that comes increasing peril. They know there are those violently invested in hiding the truth. Their crafty opponents won’t think twice about manipulating the volatile situation to their advantage.

Can Armando and Izdahl keep each other safe, while trying to find answers? Or will the dangers be too much for them?

At the beginning of 2021, I had the idea for a fantasy romance series. The main characters of the first book are a powerful mage and a stubborn town guardian. Both of them are intelligent, resilient, and snarky, which creates opportunities for incredible chemistry.

Some of my favorite fantasy elements in this series involve shifters (dragons, griffons, etc.) and other magical beings (mages, sorcerers, etc.).

Closer to publication, I’ll provide more details. I’m so excited about this series!

Book cover for Awakening, by Octavia Atlas. Two male characters stand on the smoky streets of a city. One of the characters has massive black wings and releases fire from his right hand, while standing protectively by the other male.

Armando Medina suffered a tragic loss at the hands of some Nitelvosa, supernatural beings who control his world. For decades, he’s been unable to forget the horrific night when his life changed.

Izdahl Amasi, a member of a prominent Nitelvosa family, had briefly dated Armando. He’d hoped for much more, but Armando’s trauma drove a painful wedge between them. With each passing day, Izdahl’s heart grew heavier, as he thought of what could have been.

Now, Armando and Izdahl find themselves connected in unexpected ways. Despite how much Armando tries to avoid the truth of their attraction, he’s drawn to Izdahl. Looming over them are events from Armando’s youth and the mystery of who’s responsible for his anguish. Can Armando open his heart and trust Izdahl? Or will Izdahl stop believing they have a chance?
