'An ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers' Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong, on book one, The Sun Blessed Prince
Can two rulers with power over life cheat death to save two nations locked in war? From Lindsey Byrd, The Moon Blessed King is a breathtaking, queer, slow-burn fantasy romance.
Elician is crowned King of Soleb. But hes secretly a Giver, capable of raising the dead, and its forbidden for Givers to rule. Despite this, hes desperate to end the war with Alelune and will marry Cat, a Reaper who can kill with a touch and Alelunes rightful King, to do so. But before Cat can challenge his tyrannical brother for his throne, the goddess of Death unleashes a devastating plague on both nations.
With Elician and Cats attention on Death herself, Elicians Giver sister, Fen, is left behind to heal the sick of an uncertain nation still at war. In the face of this new responsibility, Fen must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to ensure Elician and Cat can succeed.
As the death toll rises, and Alelunes throne hangs in the balance, its a race against time to appease the wrath of a god and the future of two countries is at stake.
The Moon Blessed King is the stunning second fantasy in the A Tale of Two Crowns duology, following The Sun Blessed Prince.
