An alliance forged through marriage. The cost? One Man's dream.
Tristan dreams of the day he'll succeed his father as the next Warlord of Markaytia. Elves-creatures famous for their darker passions-approach the Markaytian king with an offer he can't refuse: an alliance with the Elves for the one Tristan Kanes.
Tristan is forced to give up his dream.
He's not thrilled, but Tristan is a man of duty above all else. What choice does he have? He cannot refuse the king or Markaytia. He begrudgingly comes to terms with the arranged marriage. Is he a tad sour about it? Yes, but he'll get over it.
Probably.
Maybe it won't be so bad. Elves have cool weapons, maybe he'll get one?
Corrik bans him from cool weapons.
Corrik's seen Tristan's gruesome death on the point of a sword in a prophetic vision. He bans Tristan from picking up a sword ever again. Tristan wants to accept the marriage with grace to make his people proud, but he resents Corrik for his remorseless attitude over his life's work.
Facing the Ice Prince and himself.
Tristan's conflict follows him on the journey to the mysterious Elven land of Mortouge. He hates Corrik for taking him from the life he loved, boy does he, but his new Elven husband is an enigma and he's captivated. He sets Tristan's blood on fire and freezes it at the same time. Corrik unravels Tristan's true nature and despite his best efforts, Tristan falls for his ice prince.
But Corrik won't bend.
Can these two find a suitable compromise? Or will Tristan's resentment and Corrik's arrogance ruin forever their chance at love?
Tristan by Mock (S. Legend) is a gay romance fantasy featuring enemies to lovers vibes, an age gap, arranged marriage, first times, and a happy ending (um, eventually). This is the first action-adventure romance in the Tristan Trilogy. Mock may have written it down, but truly it's told by your lovable host, Tristan Kanes. He's funny, sarcastic and while it may not seem it at times, he's the real person in charge of this story.
About the Author: S is a crazy Canadian woman from Vancouver. She would like to tell you that when she graduated University, she made off with a fancy English degree and is actually qualified to write these stories for you, but that would be a lie-instead she made off with a science degree and was left wondering just what the hell she was going to do with it. Sure she had to write a kabillion essays, but no stories, not even short ones, nada-just a bunch of boring 'sciencey' stuff. Story telling is one of the few natural talents she possesses, or more likely, it's because she's been an avid reader since the age of four-she used to read Green Eggs and Ham to her mom and she'd read every single Babysitter's Club by the time she was eight. And she can't possibly credit University for her charming characters, oh no, the characters are people who live in her head and won't be quiet. She's had stories in her head for as far back as she can remember; even when she'd babysit her cousins and little brother and read them stories before bed, she'd read the story 'properly' only once, but had more fun thinking up several other possibilities for the story. Often she would daydream about other author's characters as well as her own original characters, but she only began writing them down when she found FanFiction and saw there were other people doing what she did daily. She thought "hey! I already do that!" So she put pen to paper and produced her first work-still unpublished. But let's answer the real question you wanna know: When did S begin writing S-E-X? The trigger ignited when she read a scene in a book which she will not name for fear the author will kill her as it was not intended to be sexual, but it was dark and sexy to her and she couldn't get it out of her head. She looked for more content like the scene she'd read and began reading and reading and reading, until her own characters came along. It just so happened, her characters are usually men, so she writes mostly M/M, and besides it's awesome.
