A half-troll hiding his insecurities behind his mask. A human who has finally found a home. Silas When I turned eighteen, I left the place I'd called home for five years and ventured out into the world. It didn't take me long to realize the world outside was an effed up place that would never accept me. I returned to The Sanctuary with a heavy heart and a hatred for humans, only to find one of their kind in the one place they weren't supposed to be. What was a human doing in The Sanctuary and how did I get rid of him when just the sight of him makes my belly flip? Touya When Headmaster Morrigan found me, I'd been convinced I was losing my mind. I'd been seeing things that had no logical explanation—unless you believed in magic. After he brought me to The Sanctuary, I had no choice but to believe. I decide to stick around as the headmaster's assistant, but not all residents of The Sanctuary were happy to have a human among them, especially the adorable, chubby troll who seemed to always be happy—except when he looked at me. Conviction is an MM monster x human romance featuring a half-troll with a gentle heart, a human who is doing his best to accept his new reality, and an strangers-to-friends-to-lovers romance that'll make you feel warm and fuzzy. While part of the Innocent Monsters series, Conviction can be read as a complete standalone. Note: Release date may be earlier than the one mentioned here.
