The heir to Tanmar has three lovers. One is a god. One is a monster. One is just right.
Aurelian’s parents expect him to marry and to provide Viscounty Tanmar with heirs, an awkward problem for a young man who has just admitted to himself that he prefers men.
On the night of his eighteenth birthday, Aurelian is kissed for the first time by a handsome prince. Two days later, a misunderstanding shatters his friendship with his family’s loyal equerry. When he receives a summons to serve at court, Aurelian seizes the opportunity to leave Tanmar and recent embarrassments behind for a year. The glamour and excitement of court await him, not to mention the handsome prince.
Once at court, Aurelian falls prey to a curse of cruelty that haunts the royal family. Imprisoned by all-too-human monsters in a land where love between men is forbidden, Aurelian’s only ally is a capricious god who loves him in his dreams.
Aurelian’s choices will lead to love, or peace for Tanmar, but he can’t have both. If peace crumbles, the war that follows will be entirely his fault.
