Publisher's summary
To break the thread of weaver’s fate, those who witness must weave anew…
Mael Nguyen doesn’t believe in fate, but he does believe in magic. His entire life revolves around the study of the arcane—spells and rituals, potions and illusions. As far as Mael is concerned, all he needs is a book in one hand and magic in the other. Anything outside of his bookshop, hidden away in the streets of New Orleans, isn’t worth his attention. But when a strange human stumbles into his life and hires him for a job, bringing along his blinding smile and curious magic, Mael finds that Fate is just as dangerous as Magic.
Leo Greyson refuses to believe in fate, but he desperately wishes to believe in magic. As a small time rockstar, full time radio host, Leo has never been one to shy away from experience and adventure. He’s always lived his life on the edge—always moving, never standing still. But when his twin sister is murdered, and he gains custody of her strangely magical daughter, that constant motion comes to a screeching halt. Instead, he is launched into an entirely new world hidden right beneath his nose, and Leo finds himself wondering if Fate really does exist, and if she’s led him right where he needs to be.
A queer take on magic, murder, and romance, fans of The Dresden Files, Howl's Moving Castle, and A Marvelous Light will find family, acceptance, and a fantastical new world to get lost in within the pages of Under the Dragon Moon, the first book in the Belamour Archives.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Great story, can't wait for book 2
This was a well written story and a good start to a series. Some of the content wasn't what I typically read but I didn't let that distract from a good story! I first read this in ebook form so it's good to see it come out on Audible as well.

Enticing, Sweet, Hot, Gay, AND Magical
In so many ways, this was an incredible story. The characters are INSTANTLY likeable, so easily lovable, and oh man I just wanna protect them so much. Literally countless points with insanely poetic descriptions, hilarious quips and lines, and hard hitting remarks that really make these characters nestle themselves into your heart. They did in mine. This story really captivated me, and I cannot wait for book 2. I have so many unanswered questions!!! So many bits and pieces to multiple puzzles that I'm so very excited to see come together and play out.
It also must be pointed out how beautifully written the parts of this story that involve things surrounding mental health. My heart ached for them when their hearts ached, and I felt both deeply seen and moved so so many times.
I also stomped my feet like an excited 15 year old who just got asked to prom by their crush so so so so so many times. This story is FUN and deep and thrilling in multiple points. It's interesting and fascinating. The magic is cool as all get out.
And the spicy scenes are TOP TIER, both the spice itself and how truly beautifully written the scenes are. It was hot, and definitely worth a read if you're more interested in a story based on quality of spice. It was super well written, and it didn't dominate the story.
One of my favorite books of the YEAR!

intricate and dazzling magical world, and yes, dragons.
Under the Dragon Moon by Mawce Hanlin
Move over "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll", this book is Sex, Magic, Memes, and Punk Rock!
It has an intricate and dazzling magical world, and yes, dragons (because honestly, who could resist dragons?). Throw in some mysteries, high-stakes heists, and steamy, poetic magical sex which pulls you in like a spell you can’t escape and then you’ve got a world so immersive, you feel like you’re living it.
Mael Nguyen, a hot warlock with magical tattoos, might look like he's in his late 40s, but he’s actually pushing 90. He’s got a grumpy exterior, but beneath that, he’s vibrant, sweet and compassionate, especially to his loved ones. Then there’s Leo Greyson, a late-20s punk rocker, radio host, and lyrical genius with a knack for creating memes and entire podcast episodes in his head, rating and reviewing his life’s wildest moments. Somehow, these two ended up as dads by default, and they’ve become the ultimate parental figures. Their personalities shine, and they fall into a beautiful, genuine love. Their banter is sweet, sparking with humor, and their chemistry is electric. The passion between them swept me right off my feet.
And let’s not forget Remy, the Kid, and of course, Potato! Oh, and Belamour, Mael’s sentient shop? She’s cozy, caring, and the ultimate guardian, always watching over Mael and the ones he loves. Their connection is so heartwarming, I couldn’t help but adore her. Every character adds something unique and magical to the story and together they are the found family they all need.
Every chapter had me giggling, swooning, and sometimes holding my breath. The whole story feels like stepping into an alternate universe where Howl’s Moving Castle meets Sherlock Holmes in the most magical of ways.
