    Part One of Lanta: A Bittersweet MM Romance. 
    — ✧ ✧ ✧ — 
    On a hushed shore beneath a moonlit sky, where the tides steal away memories etched in sand, a kiss changes everything. 
    Silom is nineteen, a fisherman’s apprentice with calloused hands, a battered wetsuit, and questions he’s never dared voice aloud. Lester is older, from a colder world—an Englishman adrift in a life that no longer fits. When their paths cross on the island of Ko Lanta, a brief, impulsive kiss stirs something neither of them is ready to name. 
    What begins as a fleeting connection becomes something deeper—tender, quiet, and inescapably real—in a place where duty weighs heavy and words come second to glances, gestures, and shared silences. But paradise cannot shield lovers from the weight of the world. As the tides shift and lives drift apart, Silom is left with only memory—and the ache of a promise unkept. 
    Spanning decades of longing, distance, and quiet resilience, Lanta is a lyrical, bittersweet love story set against the lush, salt-soaked beauty of southern Thailand. It is about the boy who kissed a stranger, the man who never forgot, and the lives that unfold between one impossible moment and its long-awaited echo. 
    Part One tells Lester's story of a remarkable night on a quiet beach in Thailand.

    ABOUT THIS EPISODE 
     
     
     
    Detective Malcolm Khalaji is at a loss. 
     
     
     
    For the second time in his life, he wasn't there when his lover needed him. And with Seong-Jae Yoon on leave pending an internal investigation, Malcolm doesn't know what to do with a shattered partner and boyfriend who's retreated from him into a dark and broken place. This time he's determined to be there no matter what Seong-Jae needs, even if it means taking time off from the pressures of their job to hold Seong-Jae through every moment of trauma, of guilt, of self-recrimination. 
     
     
     
    Until a frantic phone call from Seong-Jae's parents destroys any hope of peace. Because Seong-Jae's younger sister is missing—and there's only one place she would go. 
     
     
     
    Yet even if the desperate search breaks Seong-Jae's numbness, it's the warmth of family that brings him back from a black and dangerous edge—and shows Malcolm a side to Seong-Jae he never could have imagined. If each player in this game is a chess piece, then none other than Edmund Bishop is a pawn, sacrificed to save his queen. Yet is Lillienne Wellington really the one pulling the strings? 
     
     
     
    Or is someone else trying to eliminate Bishop for their own dire ends?

    After manifesting thorned magic and nearly destroying his hometown, Kieren Belltower is summoned to join the Magic Service—an institution in charge of magical affairs—and start an apprenticeship with a high-ranking magician. But instead of the mage assigned to teach him, Kieren is greeted by his haughty and annoyingly handsome senior apprentice Esten, who clearly has more important things to do than chaperone some newbie. 
    Their teacher has disappeared on a secret assignment, leaving Esten no instructions other than a warning not to trust a soul. But as Kieren's unruly magic proves too dangerous to leave unattended, Esten has no choice but to involve him in the matter. Together they retrace their teacher's last known mission—an investigation into the illegal use of magic and its connection to the devastating phenomenon known as the sludge, which has plagued the country for weeks. 
    But as Kieren and Esten grow closer, they uncover a plot that thrusts their lives into danger and threatens to shatter everything they know about magic and the world they were born into. 
    "Packed with adventure, swoony romance, and of course, magic. This book will enchant you!" –– Adriana Mather, NYT Bestselling author of How to Hang a Witch series.
