queerly_belovedWelcome back to Thursday Recs, and for once I'm posting this in a (relatively) timely manner!
My rec for this week is the novella "Glorious Day", by Skye Kilaen.
A fantastic read; the end of the fourth chapter still shakes me. There's some violence in the book because, well, revolution, but there is a Happily Ever After ending, as stated above. The princess is also chronically ill and blind, as well as having split attraction: she's sexually attracted to multiple genders, but only romantically interested in women.
For more thorough warnings and to read the first scene, check out this link.
Do you have a rec for this week? Just reply to this post with something queer or queer-adjacent (such as, soap made by a queer person that isn't necessarily queer themed) that you'd, well, recommend. Self-recs are welcome, as are recs for fandom-related content!
My rec for this week is the novella "Glorious Day", by Skye Kilaen.
The bodyguard is a traitor. The princess is her one true love. And the revolution is almost here.
Elsenna Hazen left spaceport security and ended up a royal bodyguard. She should have known better than to fall in love with a princess.
It’s been two years since one ill-advised kiss in the garden pulled them apart. With uprisings in the streets, the nervous princess transfers Elsenna back into her service. Her Highness has no idea Elsenna is leaking data to the revolutionaries bent on overthrowing the princess’s oppressive father.
Now Elsenna wakes up each day wondering what will happen first: her own execution, or that of the woman she could never stop loving. When rebel attacks escalate and the king plans retaliation, Elsenna discovers that the fights for her love and her life are one and the same.
A low heat science fiction F/F romance novella with a guaranteed HEA.
