A mage who fears his magic. A vampire awoken from a century-long slumber. A foe that hides in the shadows.

Cassian I'd been okay living the life of a hermit with just my semlee for company. But when helping my best friend find his mate led me to the town of Mistvale, I knew my days of being alone were coming to an end. The pull I felt to the town could only be one thing. After more than a century of being alone, I might finally find my semnyar, my mate. But what did I do when I found him buried in the basement of the house I'd just bought? Or when I realized that he was a vampire, the species that was the most susceptible to my fire, to my magic that had already taken everything from me.

Gustave When I woke up in a strange room with my mate hovering over me, it took me a moment to remember what had happened, what had been done to me. My sire had forced me into the eternal sleep. I'd slept in 1880 and woken up almost a century and a half later. The bright side was, I had been woken up by my mate and as long as we were together, I knew I'd be able to find my way in this strange new world. But how did I make Cassian see that his fears were unfounded, that he'd never hurt me? How did I make him understand what being fated mates really meant?

Look out for: Cassian finds his mate buried in his basement, no innuendo detected, Tay wakes up after a century, everything's different, ACE MC, Tay is an unusual vampire, he's all sunshine and smiles, Cassian is a grumpy fire mage, fated mates, size difference, weird vampire aunt groupie, a dash of angst, April is really a mother hen, Raphael loves poking the Cassybear, lots of BITING.

Sleep of Eternity is a 70k words story that features a grumbly fire mage, a vampire who is strangely sunshiny, a friend who loves tricking them, an owl who fiercely protects those she considers hers and lots of fire-magic and biting. It's the second book in the Mages of Ravenshire series. Each book in this series can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended to read them in order for the most enjoyment since characters will definitely pop into each other's books because they love meedling.
