The High King's Golden Tongue by Megan Derr is a queer fantasy romance set in an empire strained by war and politics. Prince Allen, raised to emulate his powerful mother and trained as a diplomatic consort, arrives at court prepared to serve the High King, only to be dismissed as ornamental and irrelevant. High King Sarrica, still grieving his late warrior consort and consumed by military strategy, rejects Allen as unsuitable while his realm edges toward greater conflict. As political pressures mount and royal expectations collide, the story traces how a refined statesman and a battle-hardened ruler confront prejudice, duty, and unexpected attraction within a royal court.
