No Escape (Redemption's End Book One)

One chance.
One mistake.And Axton Hawthorn's already reached his limit. As a courtless shadow fae on his own, with only his skills as a thief to keep him alive, Axton has nothing to fight for besides his freedom.
Until he's imprisoned for his crimes, then has his prison break foiled by an order of supernaturals who keep exposure from humans to a minimum-or something like that. He wasn't really paying attention until the last part. His choices are simple.
Join them or die.
Yeah...he'll look for another option until they give him a damn good reason not to.
Edric 'King' Kingston should never have been allowed into the High Guard in The Géillsin. Hellhounds are meant to be chained in the apocalyptic demon realm, not secretly protecting the human one as a high ranking soldier. Leading reluctant young law breakers and teaching them to use their skills for the good of their kind isn't what he would've signed up for, but it's all he has left to give to prove he's not the cursed creature he was born as.
He owes his life to one man. To a moment when someone saw more in him. The only way to pay that debt is to make sure the man's son survives.
Falling for Axton would be a very bad idea. He's reckless and defiant. Forces the order to make new rules he can't work his way around. But Edric can't look away from the trainwreck he's brought to the doorstep of the place that represents everything he believes in.
And hope Axton's presence will even their odds against forces threatening to destroy everything they've built.
While the man he can't stay away from seems determined to watch it burn.
