Dive into a riveting blend of adventure, romance, and fantasy with So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens. This enchanting tale introduces readers to Arek, a young hero who finds himself suddenly crowned King of Ere after fulfilling a long-awaited prophecy. However, the role comes with a life-or-death ultimatum: Arek must marry by his eighteenth birthday or forfeit his life. The clock is ticking, and with only three months to identify his One True Love, the stakes couldn't be higher. Arek's journey to the throne has already been filled with perilous quests and defeated foes, but finding true love proves to be his most challenging feat yet. Alongside his loyal friends and the devastatingly handsome mage Matt, Arek navigates through a series of comically awkward and heart-wrenching trials in his quest for the perfect consort. As he endures one disastrous attempt after another, Arek begins to realise that perhaps the love he seeks has been right beside him all along. So This Is Ever After skilfully blends humour, romance, and fantasy, making it a must-read for fans of Rainbow Rowell and Adam Silvera. The book's charm lies not only in its whimsical plot but also in its heartfelt exploration of relationships, identity, and the true meaning of love. Critically acclaimed and celebrated, F.T. Lukens has again delivered a story that is both subversive and delightful. Renowned for previous works such as In Deeper Waters and Spell Bound, Lukens continues to captivate readers with their signature blend of wit and emotion. Perfect for readers seeking an LGBTQ+ romantic fantasy filled with laughter, unexpected twists, and a dash of magic, So This Is Ever After is sure to enchant and entertain. Get ready to embark on a magical journey where true love may just save the day.
