Promo image for the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic N. Ashen, showing an expanded image fo the book's cover and featuring the following text: "Khazak and David have been together for three months now, and seemingly nothing can keep them apart. Now that they've finally reached Manamequohi, they can start to find the answers they seek. Or at least that was the plan.

Maname is a big city, filled with all sorts of magic—from its people to the items for sale. In other words, a tantalizing target for a mysterious necromancer. Separated by their circumstances, David and Khazak must fight their way back to each other, no matter the distance."

I start to row the boat back, curious about the sudden change, but the hull bounces off with a thunk, the dome glowing at the point of impact. The fuck? Leaning over the edge, I bang my fist against the magic wall and receive the same result.

A loud crack suddenly rings through the air, right before the light of the dome flickers, and then fades entirely. A second later, it’s back, but instead of green, the color is a dark, almost sinister-looking red. No one ever mentioned anything about it changing colors.

I look behind me as I row, trying to find lights on the coast that will point me toward Lorana. Up ahead, a glowing green line sits on the surface of the water—the border of the city's security dome. As my boat passes through it, I’m bathed in the dome’s green glow, normally invisible on the inside.

The city of Manamequohi under a red dome, from the book "Distance & Dragons" by Dominic N. Ashen.

A human running from his old life. An orc trying to protect his home. When they're drawn together, who knows what'll unfold?

This 9.5 hour audiobook is narrated by the sexily-voiced Ken B. Erotic, who has done an amazing job voicing my characters!

A five-star review for Dominic N. Ashen's book "Ours." The review reads: "Simply perfect! With 418 pages of pure male-on-male debauchery and a high body count, the author has truly captured the essence of MM erotica by not shying away from the explicit content. This is genuine gay erotica. "
