Meric is ill, and finding the beast is key to curing him. The story is told from two different third-person POVs: that of Faran, a captain in the King's guard, and that of Meric, a young mage.įaran and Meric, along with their troops, are on a quest to find a magical beast (a giant golden cat with the mane of a lion) in the Northern lands. Same-sex relationships are not forbidden in this world, but they're not encouraged either (families want heirs). It has a Middle Ages historical feel but with magic. I don’t know where this author has been all my life, but I’m very happy to have found a fantasy romance favourite in this reading experience.īitterwood is a high fantasy set in a world with kingdoms, lords, castles, healers, and mages. This one also had some lovely twists and turns before all was said and done-the kind that made me elated and giddy that I hadn’t guessed everything from the beginning. I loved the world-building and the characters, the magic lore and the deep sense of destiny that hung pertinent over the story, finding myself quickly and fully immersed in the royal quest at hand and the two love stories that came to pass between the lead characters. The plot was solid, with a medieval era vibe, weaving the perfect dash of romance in amongst some exciting life or death questing, that involved knights, mages, healers, and TWO fated love pairings that might just have been necessary to save the kingdom! This M/M high fantasy romance delivered on all counts. Thank God the second edition had a cover upgrade, that’s thought number two. Highly underrated, that’s reaction number one.
