Reviews
Bask in the rays of The Sun Blessed Prince, an ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers. Thoughtful mythology and an unusually gentle queer love story set this book apart. It's a stellar start to a promising seriesLucy Holland
I loved this charming, slow burn queer fantasy romance with the most likeable characters that gave it a cosy feel. Byrd expertly weaves in war and intrigue, the games the powerful like to play, and contrasts that with the personal, the mundane, and the intimate. This delicious book leaves an aftertaste long after you’ve savoured the last page.T.L. Huchu
The delicious romance and thorny court intrigue keep the pages turning, and a clever late plot twist shocks. This hits all the right notes. Publisher's Weekly, starred review
