A shattered planet.

A shattered planet. A crew of outcasts. And Caiden, caught between survival and vengeance. With only a sentient ship and a few alien misfits by his side, Caiden must destroy the slavers who stole everything from him—even if it means risking everything he has left. One wrong move, and he’s history.

About the book
The planet he called home? Obliterated. Caiden’s family? Gone. His only shot at survival? A patched-up ship with a life of its own and a ragtag crew of aliens who aren’t exactly winning any popularity contests. Caiden’s about to learn that this universe is far bigger—and a whole lot stranger—than he ever bargained for. But the wonders of space have their darker corners, and Caiden has one goal: take down the slavers who wiped out his people. To do that, he’ll have to infiltrate their ranks, play the long game, and pray they don’t see through his plans. Because if he fails? He risks losing the one chance he has to get even. Can he succeed—or is he doomed to die trying?

Our take
Love keeps finding them, even when history turns cruel.

About the book
Stonewall Book Award Winner, 2025
"A sweeping triumph in queer romance." –Booklist
“What if I told you that the feeling we call love is actually the feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?”
In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor—but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue.
In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead.
And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they’ve met before.
Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them.
As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love—a power that transcends time itself…but one that might consume them both.
An unpredictable roller coaster of a debut novel, The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a genre-bending spicy romantasy that challenges everything we think we know about true love.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a heart-pounding romantasy, full of shocking twists, morally shifty characters, and erotic thrills. When it comes to the romance within this novel, you can expect equal parts mess and swoon, but its central thread is an epic tale of true love against all the odds.
