Augarten

Gabriel didn't plan on waking up naked in Vienna's Augarten with no memories of his life and a strange ability to detect magic. Before he can process who he is, a powerful spirit confronts him and demands that Gabriel return “what he stole”—or face eternal consequences.

Gabriel, Solomon, and Florian create a new life together in Vienna, but darkness awaits them. Their decisions have dire consequences as Florian's traumatic past rears its ugly head, and Solomon's former order seeks revenge. Gabriel continues to struggle with his lack of memories and identity. As he works with his guardian angel to understand his new life, Gabriel discovers a truth about his past that shatters him—and the two men who have become his new world.

After losing someone precious to them, Gabriel has thrown himself headlong into learning magic, Florian has taken an enthusiastic apprentice under his wing, and Solomon has deepened his faith in order to grapple with an ever-changing world. But with a new year comes new problems, and the trees in Augarten are getting sick... even the one that has proven to be so critical to Gabriel's survival. As Gabriel himself falls ill, he digs into Florian's old journals, looking for answers to his past in the tear-soaked pages.

In the aftermath of the Paris attacks of 2015, Florian's PTSD began rewriting his memories. Acting on the advice of his counselor, who told him to write down what he wished to keep, Florian recorded both the happy memories of his marriage and the terrible death of his husband Michel, a catastrophic event that laid the foundation for the beautiful union he shares ten years later with two very different men. During the events of Hiraeth, as Vienna shuts down around them, Florian gives the dusty old notebook to his partners and asks them to read it.

As the nightmares descend, I will hold you dear... Six months after the life-altering events whose impact affected his higher soul, Gabriel is struggling not to lose everything he has managed to carve out for himself in Vienna with Florian and Solomon. Then Gabriel sees dark omens: the nature spirit Augarten's nightmares are coming. Gabriel knows powerful magic is woven into his very existence, and whether he allows the nature spirit access to that magic may very well determine whether Gabriel and his lovers survive the nightmares.
