![]() Toby is a man who wants a life, not to become part of a king's seraglio. Much is familiar, and that makes the unusual parts stand out even more. ![]() ![]() There is just enough of an "alien' feel to it to make the society and ways of dealing with life interesting without overwhelming even a 'beginning' sci-fi/fantasy reader. Without that, it would have been far less enjoyable to me. The romance between the two main characters is neither ordinary, nor is it easy, but that is what added the slight edginess to the story. Set in an undefined alternate world where kings rule the day, and the powerful ones have seraglios, this sweet romance has a few edges, and a male pregnancy as a bonus. As Tobey becomes Adam's favourite concubine, jealous rivals threaten to tear asunder the love that they have created together. Against Tobey's will, his body and also heart fell prey to the man everyone called High King and the man he simply called Adam. That choice was taken away from him when the High King of Naverya, Adam Radcliffe, met Tobey and wanted him for his own. Tobey Mitchell dreamt of many things but none included being a part of any man's seraglio. ![]()
