LOVERS AND BELOVEDS
An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom Book One
When eighteen-year-old Prince Temmin comes of age and joins his father's court, he's unprepared for its politics, assassins and sexual intrigues--and even more so, the King's immortal advisor Teacher, the holder of the royal family's hidden magic. Teacher becomes Temmin's tutor, his lessons contained in a magic book. Through it, Temmin experiences everything each story's characters do, and he's forced to confront serious mistakes in the kingdom's--and his own--past.
His present is no easier. He's falling for beautiful twins--brother and sister--who are the human hosts of the gods of love and desire called the Lovers. Being with them is more than sex; it's a religious calling. But an ancient prophecy says if Temmin heeds Their call it may spell the end of the monarchy, and the King fights him every step of the way.
Temmin must choose: Serve the Lovers and lose his father--and possibly the kingdom--or obey the King and risk the wrath of the Gods.
Set in a Victorianesque world of magic, sexuality, political intrigue and military conquest,
Lovers and Beloveds is the first book in the series
An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom. Book two,
Son in Sorrow, is now out in ebook.
This book is DRM-free!
CRITICS SAY:
"A+... The huge strength of the novel is the writing style which is excellent. ... [V]ery strong Kushiel Legacy vibes...If you are a fan of Jacqueline Carey I would definitely urge you to try this one." -- Liviu Suciu, Fantasy Book Critic Blog
"Everything I adore in high fantasy--lush worldbuilding, political intrigue, and compelling characters--combined with something I rarely find in high fantasy--intelligent, well-written, relevant sex. MeiLin Miranda's a damn fine writer and definitely one I'll be keeping my eye on in the future!" -- M.K. Hobson, author of The Native Star
"[C]aptivating - almost like an anthropological study of sex, identity, gender, relationships, power, fetish, etc. Unlike your normal smut novel or porn piece, the sex is heart-breakingly realistic, full of warts and rough edges. ... Overall Rating: 4.5 stars. Thought-provoking, well-written, emotionally powerful." -- Maria T. Violante, Write, Read, Review blog
"If George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series captures the gritty realism of medieval history, Lovers and Beloveds reveals the intimate and personal dynamics of power in aristocracies. It weaves together a rich multi-layered story that explores how sex and power shape history and individual destiny--sharing a perspective that's beyond the 'men, swords, and thrones' (capital H) history that's often seen in fantasy. ... This is an intelligent, insightful, and beautiful fantasy novel. I highly recommend Lovers and Beloveds." -- Frida Fantastic Indie Speculative Fiction Reviews blog
"If you are a fan of well-written fantasy stories with a strong sexual element, then this book comes strongly recommended." -- Grace Krispy, Mother Lode Book Reviews
"5 stars!" -- Sift Book Reviews blog
