Sixguard

Magic. Love. Treason.

For Ari, life at Sol Kargne-part school, part prison for mages-was a careful performance. He diligently hid his true identity as Sarithset de Neridithas, a prince of the empire, choosing instead to be known as Arestes de Castemont. But now, that fragile pretense is shattered. His powerful, rebellious daimon, Anzu-an ancient, trickster god said to have invented the very torcs that enslave mages-has inadvertently marked him for immediate Conscription into the brutal Dioscuri mage army.

Nikola Darrow runs a quiet apiary outside the walls of Sol Kargne, balancing the humble life of a beekeeper with the precarious existence of a Valasunan native in a country occupied by an unfriendly empire. He is the sole guardian of his younger sister, Erlea, whom he raised since their parents died. Nikola's world is upended when the powerful mage Ari nearly kills him, leading Nikola into an unexpected and consuming romance. When Ari faces compulsory Conscription into the deadly Dioscuri, Nikola must make a difficult choice.

To save those he loves, Ari must embrace the terrifying truth of his identity and the formidable power of his daimon. But doing so could spark an all-consuming war, betray his family, and shatter the very foundations of the empire. In a world where magic is both a blessing and a curse, can one prince turn the tide of his own destiny, or is he doomed to become the very weapon he fears?
