New Release: Spark of Desire!
Spark of Desire
Six years ago, Spark's lover Komyau volunteered for an experimental process that gave him sorcerous powers -- a process the Convocation of Sorcerers was certain was safe, and went on to use on thousands more individuals in the intervening years. When Komyau becomes gravely ill, Spark contacts Thistle, the individual who invented that process, to save his life.
Spark never expected her lover to fall for Thistle, or that Thistle and his husband, Frost, might be open to a polyamorous relationship. For his part, Frost never realized that his best friend already was polyamorous. But that should not matter: Spark is a centaur and not attracted to elfs like Frost. Right?
But if sorcerers can be mistaken about simple matters like attraction, they can make mistakes with far graver consequences -- and perhaps that experimental process is not so safe as everyone thought ...
This novel is a standalone polyamorous fantasy romance, with M/M and M/F pairings. Contains consensual transformation and intercourse with centaurs.
Author Commentary
Fun fact: when I was writing Frost and Desire, about two-thirds of the way through I thought, "it's a shame I can't pair Spark with Frost." And then went "but wait, this is my book, I can make it polyamorous if I want to." But despite this, I couldn't figure out a way to make the book come to a satisfying conclusion if I added a romantic relationship between Spark and Frost.
It was a few months after publication when the solution came to me, and once it did, I had to write it.
And thus began Spark of Desire, the "gratuitous polyamorous sequel" to Frost and Desire. This novel doesn't have the lengthy content warnings of the first book, and it's a standalone so if you just want your polyam fix, you needn't read Frost and Desire first. Specific content notes for this and all of my books are available at my website, ladyrowyn.com.
My first two polyam romances, A Rational Arrangement and The Princess, Her Dragon, and Their Prince, were triads. Spark of Desire is similar to a partner-swap. Polyamory comes in many forms, and exploring them is one of my favorite things. I love this book, and I hope you all will enjoy it as well.
One last note: the print version isn't ready yet, but my layout wuff, Alinsa, is working on it. There will be one! I'll announce it here/Twitter/fedi when it's available. This entry was originally posted at https://rowyn.dreamwidth.org/654065.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
