The Erl-King Novel (m/m, yaoi)

Alric Koenig

Alric is the seductive, wealthy and powerful owner of E-Core Pharmaceuticals. His son, Ethan, has been stricken with a terrible genetic illness that he is determined to find a cure for.  Ethan is his greatest treasure and he will seemingly do anything to protect and to keep the boy as his own.  Some think he would go so far as to test drugs on Winter Haven's unsuspecting populace. Others think he would take Ethan to bed to make sure no other can gain a place in his son's heart.  But none truly know Alric Koenig, because the face he presents to the modern world is merely a facade to cover his true self.

Ethan Koenig

Ethan is Alric's naive, devoted son.  Since he was a child, he knew that he loved his father too much and in the wrong way. Alric was the ultimate male in his eyes and none could reach him in intelligence nor power nor beauty.  Though he knows his incestuous feelings are wrong, he cannot rid himself of them. As a dread genetic illness closes his world down to his father, his wild-child best friend, Scott Westmore, and the Koenig family's devoted servants, Ethan's obsession for his father only grows even as he begins to suspect that Alric Koenig is far more than what he claims to be.

Scott Westmore

Scott is Ethan's best friend. A wealthy teen that is left to his own devices by parents who are absent and don't seem to care, he considers Ethan his only family.  In an effort to be as close to Ethan as possible, he decides that friendship is not enough and pursues his best friend romantically, but he hits a roadblock: Alric Koenig. Alric has no intention of allowing Scott anywhere near Ethan sexually.  Their power struggle sets Scott off on a quest to prove that the elder Koenig is involved in a string of terrible overdoses in Winter Haven through the distribution of a powerful drug known only as the Powder. He becomes convinced that Alric is testing out his pharmaceuticals on Winter Haven youth.  But his investigations uncover something far different and far darker than anything he'd ever suspected.

Jordan Frasier

Jordan is Alric's devoted servant, but he once had a family: a wife and son.  Why he left them, the scars on his cheek, and why came into Alric's service is a tale in itself, told in The Hunt. He has often been at odds with Scott Westmore, finding the boy's cheeky behavior infuriating yet alluring all the same. He hides a highly sensual nature underneath that uses all his considerable willpower to suppress his true desires. But Scott is a persistent presence and Jordan's control is not eternal.

Wulf

Wulf is Alric's mute servant.  He joined the elder Koenig's household at the same time as Jordan.  The "man-mountain" as he is affectionately called is thought to be a gentle giant, incapable of hurting a fly.  But there are rumors that this wasnt always the case.
