Igni Ferroque A Dark MM Paranormal Romance

Phelan Oliver is an outcast even among outcasts. He works as a university librarian, quiet and devout, and takes his duties as a Necromancer with total seriousness. Almost alone in his family, he follows the old ways, with the strict discipline and religious piety that demonic magic demands.

Then he meets a demon he did not summon. Remiel, a prince of Hell, embodies everything Phelan was raised to despise, and the pull Phelan feels toward him is one he cannot shake. Remiel has kidnapped him to torture information out of a sworn enemy, expecting an easy job. He did not expect a man with a buried darkness he is eager to bring out.

Phelan offers a desperate bargain: he will help Remiel defeat his nemesis in exchange for his soul's freedom. Both of them keep secrets, and uncovering Phelan's could cost each of them far more than either expects.

This is a dark male/male paranormal romance that centres on a fall, not a redemption. It can be read alone, though it follows Malum Discordiae and its Winslow witches, and starting there gives a fuller picture of that world.

The content is extreme and graphic: non-consensual sex between the leads, on-page torture, strangulation, blood play, on-page suicide, religious self-harm, mental illness and institutions, and off-page child abuse. Religious extremism and Christian mythology run heavily through the story. Readers should check the full content warnings before starting.
