NEBULA SCARS by Mató C. Lawrence
Some scars never fade. Some burn like stars.
Elliot O’Cleary carries the marks of a magic world that tried to erase him. Cast out for who he is, he hides among mortals at Saint Ambrose University, where history whispers of witches, fire, and blood.
Dean Kim knows those whispers well. An artist bound to a witch hunter by a vow he can’t break, Dean has learned that obedience keeps the people he loves alive. His latest command is simple: find the witch on campus and bring him in.
But Elliot is nothing like the monster Dean was taught to fear.
As forbidden magic stirs and an ancient ritual draws near, desire and defiance collide in the shadowed halls of Saint Ambrose. To survive, both men must confront the systems that scarred them—and decide whether love can exist in a world built to destroy it.
