Fantasy novel | gay romance sub-plot| poc main character. An heir to a monarchy threatened by a popular revolution forges an alliance with an amnesiac man who could have forgotten links to the rebellion. - - - Heron, Monarch-in-Prospect of Ceres, lost his mother to an icy storm. Two years later he still battles with the grief. The storm is back. And Heron finds a man trapped unconscious in the middle of the cold winds. His vital signs are odd and the only thing he remembers is his name : Davir. Heron provides Davir with medical care and finds in the stranger the opportunity to have a pawn in the royal guard. An alibi to buy himself liberty from the control of the ruling council of the capital. An indebted man is a man easy to persuade, and Davir acts as intended. As a popular rebellion against the Monarchy festers in the capital, Heron's new-found liberty soon leads him to cross paths with the rebels. An unsettling discovery comes to the surface: he'd been lied to about the death of his mother by the ruling council. Suspicious that he's, too, a pawn trapped in a tangle of political interests he cares little for, Heron is determined to get to the bottom of the secrets kept from him. Davir's military abilities could be of great help. Davir, too, needs Heron's ressources to discover his forgotten identity. An alliance between the two is then formed. But the clues leading to Davir's past point toward where they shouldn't : the rebellion and dark, sinful, supernatural arts of soul eaters. ____________________________________ ©Copyright A. Gonçalo.
