The Sun Blessed Prince

On the battlefield, a prince whose touch brings life meets a soldier chosen by death. But can two enemies forge a future after generations of war? This is a lyrical and character-driven queer fantasy for those who loved She Who Became the Sun.

SEPARATED BY WAR. UNITED BY FATE.

‘An ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers’
– Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong

Prince Elician is a Giver, so can heal wounds and return the dead to life. He also can’t be killed, so is cursed to watch his country wage an endless war. All this, while keeping his powers a closely guarded secret.

Cat is a Reaper and they can kill with a single touch. He’s been ordered to assassinate Prince Elician – and when he fails, he expects a terrible punishment. Instead, Elician offers Cat sanctuary on enemy territory. Cat hadn’t realized life could be worth living, until the prince. Yet Elician’s enemy plans to turn this kindness against him.

Meanwhile, Elician’s sister, Fen, must somehow master her volatile powers to serve her country as a deadly plot comes to light featuring treachery and forbidden magic. With tensions escalating from court to battlefield, can those who wield power find peace?

A powerful and richly imagined tale from a bold new voice in fantasy fiction, Lindsey Byrd’s The Sun Blessed Prince is a sweeping, enemies-to-lovers and found-family adventure.
