Happily ever after is harder when the prophecy forgets to mention what comes next.
Arek never expected to survive the quest that named him the kingdom’s savior, let alone end up wearing the crown. But when the true heir dies before she can claim the throne, he is forced to rule under a dangerous enchantment: choose a spouse by his eighteenth birthday or fade into nothing. With only three months left, Arek tries to court his loyal band of companions, hoping one friendship can turn into something more.
Every attempt goes painfully wrong, and the pressure grows as secrets tighten and feelings shift.
So This Is Ever After by F. T. Lukens is a charming, queer YA fantasy about found family, awkward romance, and discovering love in the last place you expect.
