Lancelot has loved Arthur for nearly a thousand years but has never had the courage to act on it - 'til now. After being away at college for a year, Lance returns to Avalon, Kentucky for the summer. He hasn't seen any of his friends in months, but all that changes when Arthur - the one person he can't have, but desperately needs - offers him a ride home from work. The last time Lance saw Arthur, the two had not parted on the best of terms - with Arthur's father finding them asleep on his bed, and physically wrenching Lance away from Arthur. The incident put a strain on their friendship, and convinced Lance that they will never be together. For the past five years, Lance has fought his attraction to Arthur, because as a budding brujo, he believes in magick, destiny, and fate - that everything happens for a reason - that nothing good will come of an Arthur Pendragon-Lance A. Lotte pairing. Then one evening Arthur sends Lance a text, telling him that he's in love with him, forcing Lance to question everything.[Content Warning: This book contains instances of dead-naming and transphobia, drug use, and violence.
