Evan Bartholomew lives life as a gay pagan with a deep interest in magic. When he comes across a book of magic in an old bookstore, he fantasizes about the portrait of a man within its pages. When he attempts one of the spells in the book, he finds himself in a world of demons, magic, a queen who wants to kill him, a king who lusts after him, and the man of his fantasies, Aidan Loriel.
