Why Read This?

You'll believe in healing through connection and acquire a book boyfriend who proves love can warm even the coldest magic.

Synopsis

He’ll die without touch. As a necromancer, Shae loses a little more of himself every time he uses his magic. Always cold, always touch-starved, the only thing that helps is human contact. But that’s hard to come by when those same dark powers scare everyone away from him. Nobody likes a necromancer. Especially a paladin of the Radiant Order. Arthur’s still bitter and broken after his last lover stabbed him in the back, and the last thing he needs is another brush with evil. When he agrees to escort the wandering necromancer north, he’s just doing a public service. But he never expected Shae to be so clingy. Or distractingly attractive. Shae has never felt an aura as warm and safe as Arthur’s. He craves the man’s touch—and more. But everyone he’s ever known has left him, and it’s just a matter of time before Arthur leaves him too. Assuming the soul-stealing monsters don’t kill them first. The Necromancer’s Light is a gay fantasy romance, with a dangerous quest, hurt/comfort, and so many excuses for sharing a bed.
