A political marriage entangled with forbidden magic and murder

Set in an occupied land shaped by Welsh folklore, Princeweaver brings court politics, nature-infused magic and a murder investigation into the same conflict. Apothecary Meilyr becomes engaged to the invading prince Osian to save his brother, while concealing the forbidden magic he carries. When nobles are killed by that same magic, the pair must search for the murderer as suspicion closes in on Meilyr. Their alliance also becomes the setting for a romance that develops amid danger and competing loyalties. The premise connects personal risk and growing affection to the wider tensions of conquest and revenge.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Queer fantasy romance readers interested in a relationship developing alongside political danger.
  • Readers drawn to Welsh folklore, nature-infused magic and occupied-kingdom settings.
  • Those looking for court intrigue combined with a murder mystery.

Their marriage is to save a warring kingdom. But in the process, it might destroy them both.


 


Born with forbidden, nature-infused magic in an occupied land, anxious apothecary Meilyr survives by keeping his head down. Until he ends up engaged to invading prince Osian in order to save his brother's life. Now, he is in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to hide his true self.

When nobles in Osian's court are gruesomely murdered by the same magic that flows through his veins, Meilyr realises someone is seeking revenge for his homeland. As suspicion towards him grows, he and the prince work together to uncover the killer or risk losing the crown - and their lives.

Between court politics, unwieldy magic and a murderer on the loose, Meilyr must keep his wits about him. Especially as his feelings for Osian grow deeper with every passing day...

Folkloric and with a slow-burn romance at heart, fans of A Taste of Gold and Iron, C. S. Pacat and Rebecca Ross will love this debut.
