In this hilarious gay fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together. Funny, touching and inventive, this brilliant debut is perfect for fans of How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying and Dreadful.
All his life, Sir Cameron has stayed as far away from danger as possible. He is quite frankly too handsome to die a pointless death in battle. But then the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights: the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to survive: the mad sorcerer.
Merulo isn't thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but transmogrifying him into a vulture is at least entertaining. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he's really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew?
As a legion of knights surround their stronghold, the sorcerer's poisonous ambitions draw ever closer to fruition. Cameron is quite invested in not dying, but he finds he's also invested in Merulo. And sometimes, supporting the sorcerer you care about means taking an interest in their hobbies. Even if that hobby is trying to kill God.
Even if it might get you killed, too.
Fall in love with this laugh-out loud, genre-bending romp full of concussed elves and queer romance like you've never seen before.
Come for the silliness, stay for the twists.
-Caitlin Rozakis, New York Times bestselling author of Dreadful and The Grimoire Grammar School
When times are hard, comedy feeds the soul. I promise this book will make you laugh. The only way it could be improved is with more man-on-vulture action. Five stars.
-Alexandra Rowland, author of Running Close to the Wind
A rollicking blend of whimsy and madness that kept me on my toes the whole way through. This tale takes the cookie cutter ideal of heroes and villains and twists them into all sorts of new shapes (sometimes quite literally) with delightful results.
-Maiga Doocy, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sorcery and Small Magics
Sir Cameron is one of those heroes that you not only want, but need. Is he brave? No. Smart? Not really. Talented? Absolutely not. Did I relate to him? One hundred percent. He just wants to stay alive, and his antics to do so-like throwing in his lot with an evil sorcerer-lead to a story full of humor, warmth and depth. Stothers takes a fresh slant on time honored tropes, gleefully using them to skewer concepts of identity, gender, class and religion. The result is a hilarious romp full of satire, heart, and the overriding question: who gets to decide what's evil and what's good anyway? I thoroughly loved it and recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy that makes them laugh.
-Lish McBride, author of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer
From the very first page, I knew I was in for a good time. With vibrant characters, delightfully weird worldbuilding, and an absurd plot, this was one of the most entertaining stories I've read this year. If you like outrageous (complimentary) science fantasy, you're in for an enormous treat.
-Kemi Ashing-Giwa, USA Today bestselling author of The Splinter in the Sky
Full of cozy heart and charm, with a delightfully hilarious main character-I kicked my feet all the way through.
-Charlotte Stein, author of When Grumpy Met Sunshine
A delightfully unpredictable fantasy adventure that turns familiar tropes on their heads in increasingly hilarious ways, Stothers perfectly blends heart, humor, and charming absurdity into your new favorite read.
