Everlight

An Evidence of Magic by Kris Michaels and Patricia A. Knight blends urban fantasy, mystery thriller, and male/male romance in a contemporary city setting. Veteran homicide detective Hiro Santos, worn down by years on the job, is drawn to Sable Campion, a seemingly young art studio owner who becomes the prime suspect in a brutal murder. Sable insists he is a centuries-old wizard guarding a portal between Everlight and Elysium, and that the crime is tied to a threat against both realms. As Hiro investigates, he must decide whether Sable is delusional or the key to stopping a paranormal killer, while an intense attraction complicates his search for the truth.

Incident of Magic by Kris Michaels introduces Tony Locke, a former child trafficking victim who has fought his way up to become a homicide detective in Everlight, a city steeped in sex, drugs, and paranormal crime. When Tony is promoted to the secretive Interdimensional Task Force, he is forced into an uneasy partnership with Leo Fortan, a man bound by duty and sacrifice whose rigid, isolated life leaves little room for trust. As they investigate cases that cross magical and interdimensional boundaries, their clashing personalities and shared trauma create both friction and unexpected connection. This urban fantasy blends mystery, magic, and slow-building gay romance against a gritty, high-stakes backdrop.
