Elas: Mate's Mark, Book 2
For almost a century, we've believed the prophecy to be a hoax.
The promise of Fated Mates being the cure to this ruined world was a beautiful story, a romantic lie told to keep us in line. Nothing more than an idyllic promise to make us work together.
Only we never did, and the world only suffered more.
Joining the military has turned my life into a monotonous cycle of schedule, routine, and order. Day after day, I wake at the same time, wear the same uniform, and stare at the same power-hungry faces I've been commanded by for decades. Days blur into weeks, and weeks turn into years where it feels like nothing ever happens. Nothing ever changes.
Until the day it does….
The prophecy is real, my best friend has disappeared with his mate, and now I'm here, alone, keeping my last promise to him. Protect August.
It's not hard to track him down, but the human is the last thing I expected. August, a medic, is confined to a cell with the rest of his rebel friends, but despite this waste of a world and the terrible things he's seen in this life, he's good. Sunshine and smiles, endless curiosity, and infallible happiness. He views the world with a positivity I can't figure out, and it pulls me into his gravity, eliciting conflicted feelings that have no place in a warrior like me.
In a life that's riddled with darkness, August is light, and I can't seem to look away from his glow.
Elas is a first-person dual POV MM monster romance series. It is the second in a series that will have an overarching storyline carried over between books. While this series ends with a guaranteed HEA, individual books end on more of an HFN basis. The featured couple's story will be resolved, though there will be some unanswered questions and mild cliffhangers that lead into the next in the series.
Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

About the author
G. Eilsel
22 books285 followersG. Eilsel started writing under this pen name in early 2024, publishing works in two genres she loves: eccentric novellas and MM romance.
Her writing puts a focus on sarcasm, snarky humor, sometimes horrible puns, and steamy scenes that'll make your momma blush. Expect heavy spice, in any sort of variety you're looking for-sweet, emotional, depraved, or downright questionable.
Some of her books are one-handed reads with minimal plot, others are more intricate stories that weave themselves through her brain and demand to be put on paper. Angsty and emotional, light and giggle-inducing, and everything in between can be found between the covers of her books.
She doesn't take herself too seriously, throwing pieces of her humor and quirky personality in her writing. If she can't live up to her title of a One-Handed author, then maybe she can at least make you smile.
