Lovers in denial. Enemies in pursuit. A kingdom on the brink.- Slow burn M/M romantasy
- Forced proximity on the run
- Healer losing his magic
- Political conspiracies and growing devotion
A healer in exile. A king on the run. A bond they cannot escape.
Cael Amuletos should be dead. Framed for treason, buried alive, his magic outlawed, yet he survives, saved by the one man he once betrayed. Now he and Quin, fugitive king and constant thorn in his side, are hunted through a kingdom unraveling in plague and fear.
In fevered towns where every breath is suspect, Cael heals until his hands shake and his control splinters. And still, Quin lingers close. Sharp-tongued, unyielding, impossible to ignore. Their arguments spark like flint, their glances burn too long, and every step together draws them deeper into danger and into each other.
But survival is never simple. In the city of Hinsard, conspiracies fester: corpses stolen in the night, poisons lacing the air, allies framed for treason. With his gift fading and enemies closing in, Cael must confront the one truth he has always resisted: he cannot fight alone.
To save Quin, to save himself, he must choose between the healer he was and the survivor he is becoming.
The story continues in this intense second volume of The King's Man trilogy.
