The Boy Who lLoved and Lived

Two rival wizards.

One forbidden love.

And a battle against ruin that could consume the world.

Sixteen-year-old Arlen Vale has always heard whispers from the ancient ruins buried beneath his city. Seventeen-year-old Cassian Drel, his sharp-tongued rival, has always been the fire that pushed him harder, faster, further. When war erupts and betrayal shatters their academy, the boys are thrown together in a fight for survival.

But survival isn't enough.

As Venoa trembles under the shadow of crimson sails and priests who chant to wake the ruin's heart, Arlen and Cassian discover a bond stronger than rivalry-stronger than the ruin's call itself. Together, they must endure treachery, face a city that fears them, and defy the whispers that demand crowns and chains.

Love may be the only magic powerful enough to stop the ruin.

But love has never been safe for boys like them.

The Boy Who Loved and Lived is an epic LGBTQ+ romantic fantasy-a sweeping tale of war, betrayal, and hope, where two boys find not only each other, but the strength to defy fate itself. Perfect for fans of Carry On, Cemetery Boys, and The Priory of the Orange Tree.
