Elements of Love - Books 1 & 2 - Paperback

Elements of Love: Books One & Two In a world recovering from a war that devastated humanity, the Church makes the laws. Violence is not tolerated, and anything not sanctioned by the Church is evil. Abuse of power is common, and people struggle from day to day trying to avoid the notice of Church officials. Stonemason Evan Halvard is learning to control a power he doesn't understand. He can give life to stone and awaken living gargoyles. When Evan saves a large gargoyle that is about to be demolished, he becomes involved in a fight between the paranormal world and the Church. But he also discovers passion and loyalty in a place he never imagined looking. Nicolai Daemarkus, a fire daemon, investigates a gargoyle circling a smoldering building. Coming upon his unconscious human mate in the ruins catches him off guard and fills him with joy and dread. The beautiful man ignites his lust, but a sexual relationship would lead to their deaths. Unable to abandon the man, he takes him home, only to discover the dangers they face individually might come from the same source.
