Second (History Plays, Book 1) by kullman

Rose and Swan Boarding School's social heirarchy is disrupted with the arrival of a new student who catches the eye of the star of the hockey team. Can Edward and Gaveston keep their relationship a secret from the malicious student body and faculty? Definitely not. Rose and Swan is a highly religious boarding school nestled deep in the mountains. It's the perfect place to hide, but Edward is about to find out you can't hide from yourself. He had no problem hiding his sexuality, not until Piers Gaveston, his new roommate, shows up. Based loosely on Kit Marlowe's play 'Edward II'. Feels like a teen rom-com. I wrote this as the book I wished I'd had as a teenager, that is to say I wanted it to be a sort of comforting, relatable world, as well as genuinely fun. That said it does follow the basic plot of the play so there are some unsettling scenes. Namely Chapters: 15, and 23 on. (If you think the cover is too gay I assure you it's what Marlowe would have wanted. If you think the book is too gay I PROMISE you, it's what Marlowe would have wanted). Trigger/Content Warning: some graphic violence that may be disturbing to some readers (chapters 21--on, Epilogue is fine). Some teenage sexuality (teenagers kiss, it is implied teenagers have sex, chapter 19 primarily, but all scenes are PG-13 level sensuality). Brief teenage level crude humor. Self harm is discussed throughout (worst depiction in chapter 14). Conversion therapy discussed at length and briefly depicted (Chapter 15). A character suffers from gender dyphoria and is dead-named on page (chapter 20). Graphic violence/torture after Chapter 21. Be aware of your mental state and seek help as needed.

Epiphany Rising (Violent Delights Book 5) by kullman

A child king. A jealous cousin. A path to glory full of heartache. The court of Richard II of England fraught with peril, a tenuous 22 year reign that is all going to come crashing down on a cold night in January, 1400. After Richard is overthrown by his bloodthirsty cousin, Richard's supporters make one final, desperate bid to save his life and put him back on his throne. This last stand of supporters to the true king of England, will be known as the Epiphany Rising. Only one thing is certain, one king will remain on the board when the game is over. Based on true events. Content/Trigger Warning: traumatic violence and profanity throughout. Death of major characters, throughout. A narrating character experiences an eating disorder, this is discussed at length throughout. Some brief child abuse. A character has a sensory overload. Blood and gore. Some brief crude humor. Suggestive language. Somewhat steamy sexual content. A teenager is reluctant to have sex with an older teenager. Alcohol use. Be aware of your mental state and seek support if needed. See below for more information if needed on triggering subjects. A major character experiences anorexia throughout the narrative and eventually dies from starvation. This is discussed at length, the character clearly is suffering. A major character is reluctant to have sex with a spouse, and is disturbed by the experience but due to societal norms does not voice this to the spouse. The relationship is shown to be coercive and the entire section may be uncomfortable. (Part 3) Most major characters die traumatically on page. A character who is implied to be neurodivergent narrates disorganized thinking consistent with mental anguish due to stressors, then is denied coping mechanisms.

R3 (History Plays, Book 7) by kullman

Murders happen. Life goes on. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you. Richard is determined not only to survive but to come out on top. When a newcomer threatens Globe Prep's delicate social hierarchy, a deadly power play ensues. Based off of Shakespeare's Richard III, chronologically after 'The Sixth' and 'Henriad' but they don't need to be read in order. Feels like a black-teen comedy, like Heathers. Trigger/Content Warning: violence throughout, mention of an eating disorder, family trauma, peril, and some distressing imagry. Some teenage sexual content, teenage characters discuss sex, two characters are stated to have had sex, and are shown in bed, partially clothed. Some brief crude teen dialogue.

The Last Knights of Cambria Book 5: Deaths of the Rose by kullman

Gideon is back in trouble (what else is new) and jumping forward in time 30 years to the War of the Roses. The year is 1463. The Lancasters are on the run, and the Yorks are in power. Gideon is allied with the Lancasters but at the moment the current threat is supernatural, and hunting both houses. As usual, living people die, dying people live, Richard III is involved somehow. Fourth wall breaks galore. Found families. Everybody is probably gay, swords are described in loving detail, people are not, lovely platonic friendships, did we mention swords? Yes, you may learn something about history and feel the overwhelming urge to join the Richard III society, but that's a risk you'll have to take. Trigger/Content Warnings: some mild crude humor (middle school level) and some profanity. Brief mention of abusive families. Fantasy violence. Some moderate peril and frightening scenes.

35 Days (Violent Delights Book 10) by kullman

35 days. A siege nearly ten years in the making. 300 French defenders attempt to hold off nearly 10,000 English assailants from the vital port town of Harfluer. As casualties from disease mount on both sides, the French can only pray for relief. Relief that will never come. Based on true events. The town of Harfluer courageously held out against England's greatest warrior king, Henry V, for over a month. This is their story. Trigger/Content Warning: this is a war story so there is extreme violence throughout. Very traumatic deaths of major characters (Day 28-30). A character has a panic attack on page. There is an extended sequence that can inspire claustrophobia (Day 5). Could be triggering to those with a fear of drowning (Day 5). Profanity throughout out. Rape is discussed (primarily preventing it, nothing shown). Brief minor sexuality, characters kiss briefly, and are shown in bed together, nothing more. Alcohol use throughout
