Description

A unique and thrilling blend of Arthurian romance and detective noir, The Cold Ever After is a unique fantasy story in the vein of Game of Thrones meets Chinatown.

For fans of epic fantasy, queer romance, and hardboiled detective noir!

'She lost everything when she fell in love with her Queen. Now she has a week to find a missing princess, or she'll lose it all again...along with her head.'

Ten years after her disgrace and exile, Sir Noelani Mahi'ai - former Royal Champion of the kingdom of Patria Lupi and Queen's protector - has been hiding under a rock at the bottom of a bottle and hasn't lifted a sword in all that time. Until one day, the Queen summons Noelani to find her daughter who has mysteriously disappeared the night before her wedding. Given one week to recover the princess, Noelani is forced to confront a baffling mystery, a terrifying adversary and her own past to save the kingdom. But not everything is as it seems in Patria Lupi, and in seven days she may not have a life to get back on track.

The Cold Ever After does queer romance and the mystery of a missing princess in classic Arthurian style, complete with swordplay and a disgraced knight's return. Publisher's Weekly
