About this book

For centuries, the gods have chosen a king from the order of priests who dedicate their lives to serving them. So when the gods choose Ethyr to be king, a peasant farmer from the farthest edge of the kingdom, it upends his life without warning and thrusts him into a world that is the opposite of everything he’s ever known: spoiled with luxury and riches beyond his wildest imaginings, but trapped in a gilded cage of obligation. As Ethyr does his best to please the gods and understand the society he’s been forced into, he begins to realize there is more to the gods’ choice than hedonistic preference. Now he must navigate the treachery and deception of slippery palace politics, all while trying to unravel the enigmatic motives of the gods who made him king.

About the author

Emily Oracle

A queer fantasy author and New England native, Emily Oracle is now floundering on the west coast of the US with her void cat and little queer commune. She’s been writing fiction for over twenty years, with a degree in Creative Writing and a passion for history. Her biggest weakness (derogatory) is her own perfectionism and (affectionate) reader comments.

To Emily, fantasy is not an escape, but an exploration into the themes that haunt her psyche: what it means to be alone, how love is experienced despite and through the inherent selfishness of being, and the process of healing from the inevitable metamorphoses one experiences in life to become who they are.
