The Sun Blessed Prince

A lyrical fantasy featuring star-crossed love in a time of war

De: Lindsey Byrd

Narrado por: Joe Jameson

On a hotly-contested battlefield, a prince whose touch creates life meets a soldier chosen by death. But can they forge a future together, from opposite sides of a great war?

A lyrical and character-driven queer fantasy for those who loved She Who Became the Sun, The Song of Achilles and Sistersong.

Prince Elician is a Giver – a closely-guarded secret. He can heal any wound and bring the dead back to life. He also can’t be killed, so is cursed to watch his country wage an endless war. Reapers can kill with a single touch. And when one attacks Prince Elician near a hotly contested battlefield, the Reaper expects a terrible punishment. Instead, Elician offers him a new life on enemy territory.

Cat, as Elician calls him, hadn’t realized he could ever find someone who would make life worth living. Yet Elician’s enemies plan to turn his kindness against him. As the pieces of a deadly plot come together, tensions escalate at court and on the battlefield. The fires of conflict burst into new flame – but can those who wield the powers of life and death find peace?

A powerful and richly-imagined tale from a bold new voice in fantasy fiction, Lindsey Byrd's The Sun Blessed Prince is a sweeping, enemies-to-lovers, found-family adventure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Bask in the rays of <i>The Sun Blessed Prince</i>,<b> an ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers</b>. Thoughtful mythology and an unusually gentle queer love story set this book apart. It&#39;s a stellar start to a promising series

I loved this <b>charming, slow burn queer fantasy romance</b> with the most likeable characters that gave it a cosy feel. Byrd <b>expertly weaves in war and intrigue</b>, the games the powerful like to play, and contrasts that with the personal, the mundane, and the intimate. This delicious book leaves an aftertaste long after you&rsquo;ve savoured the last page.

The <b>delicious romance and thorny court intrigue</b> keep the pages turning, and a clever late plot twist shocks. This hits all the right notes. ( Publisher's Weekly, starred review)
