His magic can heal anything--except a broken heart.
Book one of The Knights of the Twisted Tree.
The war is over, and Korin has come to Triome, the greatest city in the world, for a fresh start. But Triome holds its own dark secrets, and Korin may not have left all his enemies behind.
A disease stalks the city, a disease made of magic that only a wizard like Korin can cure. But he can't fight it alone, and his new allies may not be as friendly as they seem. Especially handsome Ádan, who awakens feelings and memories that Korin would rather have left behind, and whose smiling face may be hiding the darkest secret of all.

The Romance Tag is There for a Reason
Reviewed at: Chapter 31
So, ok, first things first. No spoilers. The story is well crafted, with no grammar errors. The sort of book that in a different era you might see in a bookstore. The worldbuilding is interesting, with a magical war/purge being mostly over, and our MC being a medic, essentially, fleeing the war to the big city. Characters are believable.
The protagonist is gay. Which seemed likely from the blurb, but wasn't obvious.
The plot is a Romance [he's so hot, but he's wrong for me; etc etc], with a bit of Mystery.
This is, I think, aimed at a YA audience. There haven't been any twists that are surprising. And I suspect the big reveal is going to be obvious a mile away.
There are going to be some people who love this. Good luck!
Nice Story
