Cael has always walked the thin line between healer and outlaw, but when he learns Quin, the true king of Lumin, has been captured, he risks everything to reach him. Disguised as “Haldr,” Cael infiltrates Iskeldir’s court, tending to Quin’s wounds while keeping his own identity buried. Each stolen moment between them is a battle of sharp words, lingering touches, and the ever-present danger of discovery.
But Quin’s freedom comes at a cost. To secure his release, Cael must do the impossible: win the Medicus Contest, a ruthless competition designed to prove Lumin’s superiority in healing magic. With only alchemy and wit, Cael must outmatch spell-wielding rivals, outmanoeuvre those who would see him fail, and outlast the unseen forces working against him. When the final trial demands he enter the callous regent’s memoryscape, Cael faces an impossible choice: risk his soul to save those trapped inside or lose everything. Including Quin.
In a world where healing is power and love is a battlefield, how far will Cael go to protect the man he can never have?
THE KING’S MAN is an epic romantasy filled with slow-burn passion, courageous choices, and the relentless spirit of a healer determined to beat all odds.
This six-book series is one continuous journey and romance arc and is best read in order for maximum enjoyment.
“Reviews
The “best friend’s little brother” trope is done to perfection here. I loved that while Mort was trying to find his way back to a family he (supposedly) let down, and re-establish his relationship with his best friend, he always put Felix first, even when Felix couldn’t see it.
Lots of feels, tons of UST, very strong sense of family, banter and a little (but enough) steam are some of the things that made this a winner for me.” – Ele at Gay Book Reviews (4/5 stars)
“The story kept me anxiously awaiting what would happen next from start to finish, smiling for most of the ride, so I’d rate this one at around 4 stars and recommend it.” – Todd at My Fiction Nook (4/5 stars)
“A heartwarming love story set in New Zealand that is guaranteed to leave you with feel good vibes.” – OnceUpon_A_BookDream (4/5 stars)
