His Secret Illuminations

By Scarlett Gale
His Secret Illuminations by Scarlett Gale digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Sheltered Monk

 

By day, Lucían brews potions and illuminates manuscripts in service to the monastery that took him in as a child, wielding magic based in his faith and his purity. By night, he dreams of the world outside the cloister—a world he knows only in books and scrolls...

 

A Mysterious Warrior

 

A mercenary known as the She-Wolf hunts for a shipment of stolen manuscripts. When she needs a mage to track them down, she chooses Lucían for both his adorable blushes and his magic. She purchases his contract, hurling him headfirst into an adventure that will test both his skills and his self-control...

 

A Sacred Vow

 

Inexorably drawn to the She-Wolf's strength, surprising kindness, and heated touches, Lucían fights temptation at every turn. His holy magic is both vital to their mission and dependent upon his purity. How can he serve both her and the Lord if he gives in to his desire? As intrigue and danger forces them closer, how can he possibly resist?

“A cozy read! The characters are so tender towards each other and there isn't really any urgency regarding their quest so there's time for all to bond and eat meals together. I also liveeee for this dynamic 🥵 Lucian is so shy and repressed but courageous and it's cute... It's a slow burn with some exhilarating spikes of what I expect book 2 contains more of (Oh I see your set-ups!). I will say the fantasy world this takes place in felt more like a second thought. And I could see what the author was trying to do by making everyone so kind & open-minded but I think as a result there really isn't depth to many of the side characters.”
