Fractured Magic by Em Rowene

When the King of Alfheim disappears, his nephew Leandros gathers a team of elites to find him. But Leandros soon discovers that there’s more at play than a simple kidnapping: divine creatures play puppeteers, monsters roam the continent, and his ex-friend Egil stands at the center of it all, fighting the dark magic that threatens to consume him, rot him from the inside out. Leandros finds himself torn. If he fails to rescue the King, his own family, it could mean war. If he fails to help Egil, it could end the world as he knows it. To make his choice even harder, he’s still in love with Egil.
