The Exile and His Fool

No one promised him his destiny would be a blessing. When Mateo quit his home several years ago, he traded a vibrant life at court for tedium and anonymity. He's dying for a change of pace, but maybe not in the form that it takes: he's taken prisoner by a foreign rogue. Being handsome is the only thing Yathren seems to have to recommend him, but there's something there. A spark Mateo finds tempting. The question is whether he can stand to stick around long enough for the other man to realize he could be more than an overgrown boy playing at having a ruthless villain's ambition. It's not just a matter of patience: Mateo is in danger. Not from Yathren but from Yathren's people and his family and the ominous destiny his people's shamans handed him. Dive into this steamy story about wisdom, folly, and the turbulent romance that comes along with learning oneself painfully in front of an audience.
