Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die

If Terry Pratchett wrote a queer romance, it might read something like this. Sir Cameron is gloriously useless in battle but devastatingly effective at charm, seduction, and running away from danger. When a prophecy declares his death is the key to defeating the mad sorcerer Merulo, Cameron does the only logical thing — he asks Merulo for protection. What follows is a whip-smart deconstruction of fantasy tropes wrapped in genuine romantic tension, with Cameron discovering he's very into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. The humor lands consistently, the worldbuilding is inventive, and the relationship between Cameron and Merulo earns every beat of its slow-burn payoff.
