The Bonds of Magic by James Matthews

About The Bonds of Magic by James Matthews

A coming-of-age fantasy with powerful LGBTQ+ romance, dangerous secrets, and a world on the edge of war.

In a world built by magic and ruled by tradition, sixteen-year-old Tobin Ammagan never expected to find love—or war.

At Steelblade Academy, Tobin and his best friend Colin have trained in the arcane arts since childhood. Their bond is unbreakable… and growing into something more powerful than either of them ever imagined. But their magical connection isn’t just rare—it’s dangerous. In a society bound by ancient rules and a rigid caste system, their love could ignite rebellion… or doom them both.

As political unrest spreads and creatures of the dark stir once more, Tobin and Colin are thrust into a conflict they aren’t ready for. Werewolf attacks, forbidden potions, and secrets hidden in the forest all point to one terrifying truth: a war is coming, and their bond may be the key to saving—or destroying—the realm.

Perfect for fans of magical academies, heartfelt LGBTQ+ romance, and richly built fantasy worlds.
This emotionally charged adventure is the first in a gripping new series where loyalty is tested, love is power, and magic is more than just a gift—it’s a choice.
