A road romance beyond the expected path

Guinevere’s planned future as a nobleman’s obedient wife sits uneasily beside her appetite for freedom and adventure. After a bandit attack leaves her stranded, survival means traveling with Oskar, a half-orc whose own journey is shaped by loss, an abandoned apprenticeship, and the search for family he has never met. Their shared road brings the novel’s romantic tension into contact with questions of duty, self-determination, and the lives each has been expected to lead. Set in Critical Role’s Exandria, this fantasy romance pairs a dangerous journey with two characters weighing familiar obligations against a growing connection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fantasy-romance readers interested in a developing romance alongside a journey through a perilous setting.
  • Readers drawn to stories about challenging family expectations and choosing an independent path.
  • Critical Role and Exandria fans curious about a romance set in that world.

Book overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A merchant's daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the author of The Hurricane Wars.

This gorgeous hardcover edition features beautiful designed endpapers and a reversible jacket with in-world fan art by Jester Lavorre.

"A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt--this one is a winner all around."--Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods

A COSMO AND BOOK RIOT BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere's path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family's station, and live quietly as a lordling's obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.

Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.

Unlike Guinevere, Oskar's path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that's left is a long, lonely walk to a land he's never seen to find family he's never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down--even if the spark between them sizzles with promise.

Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they'll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role's Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.
