Heart's Volition — Frey Ortega

Micah Faraday is an incubus with a rough past, one that includes being held captive by not one, but two psychotic madmen, and having a rough time acclimating to believing he's worth being loved, let alone being a person. Surviving day by day isn't really living, and one day Micah made the decision to die. Of course, until he makes the mistake of binding himself to the phoenix named Erik Anderson. Erik is exactly what Micah needs but doesn't think he wants: grounded, stable, reliable, and he doesn't know when to give up. He seeks to understand Micah and to help him through his pain, but he also has to contend with a world he's not familiar with. In the midst of all of the chaos that surrounds them, Micah and Erik go on a journey of learning to trust and understanding that some of the worst choices we've made end up being the best ones after all.
