The heir to Viscounty Tanmar has three lovers. One is a god. One is a monster. One is just right.
On the night of his eighteenth birthday, Aurelian is kissed for the first time by a handsome prince. Two days later, a misunderstanding shatters his budding relationship with his family's loyal equerry. When he receives a summons to serve at court, Aurelian seizes the opportunity to leave Tanmar and recent embarrassments behind for a year. The glamour and excitement of the capital city await him-not to mention the handsome prince.
Once at court, Aurelian falls prey to a curse of cruelty that haunts the royal family. Imprisoned by all-too-human monsters in a land where love between men is forbidden, his only allies are his horse and a capricious god who loves him in his dreams.
Aurelian's choices will lead to love, or peace for Tanmar, but he can't have both. If peace crumbles, the war that follows will be entirely his fault.
The Shadow God's Knight is a queer dark fantasy romance where happy endings come after dark middles and pleasure is the most powerful magic of all.
