Tristan Vale has always known exactly who he is.
Successful. Confident. Straight.
But at the Arcane Fashion Institute, magic can change more than appearances.
When Tristan enters the prestigious Zenith competition, he expects ruthless rivals, impossible runway challenges, and enough ambition to destroy anyone who gets in the way. What he doesn't expect is Lucien Crowe.
Or the forbidden hex Lucien casts on him.
Suddenly, Tristan's body begins reacting to men in ways he can't control. His attractive classmate Kai becomes impossible to ignore. The dangerously captivating Professor Solis awakens desires Tristan never knew existed. And every encounter pulls him further away from the man he thought he was.
Tristan wants answers.
Instead, he finds temptation.
The deeper he falls into the seductive world of magical fashion, the stronger the hex becomes-and the more difficult it is to separate magical desire from genuine attraction.
But something far darker is hiding beneath the Arcane Fashion Institute.
Ancient spells. Living garments. Forbidden experiments. And a powerful rival determined to turn Tristan's transformation into something permanent.
To survive the competition, Tristan must master the magic changing him, confront the truth about his desires, and answer one terrifying question:
If the spell disappears... will he really want to go back?
His Magical Gay Awakening is a provocative MM dark academia fantasy romance featuring forbidden magic, intense attraction, identity exploration, dangerous rivals, magical fashion, and a slow-burning journey from confusion to self-acceptance.
