Lukens is a spellbinding LGBTQ+ romantic fantasy that combines forbidden magic, high-seas adventure, and a heartwarming romance. Renowned for its masterful storytelling and captivating characters, this novel is perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell, Daughter of the Pirate King, and Adam Silvera.
Prince Tal has long awaited his coming-of-age tour—a journey that will allow him to explore his family's vast kingdom and step into his destined role. During his voyage, his ship encounters a seemingly abandoned vessel with a mysterious prisoner on board. Tal forms an immediate and profound connection with the enigmatic and roguish Athlen, a connection that deepens as they converse. However, this budding bond is abruptly severed when Athlen escapes overboard, leaving Tal heartbroken and yearning.
The story takes an unexpected turn when Athlen reappears on land, alive and as captivating—and secretive—as ever. Their reunion, however, is short-lived as Tal soon finds himself kidnapped by those who aim to exploit his hidden powers to dismantle his royal family. In this desperate situation, Athlen might be Tal's sole ally, but trust does not come easy. As Tal navigates treacherous waters both literally and figuratively, he must decide whether to place his faith in Athlen and risk everything to save his family and kingdom.
