A merchant’s daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars.
As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure.
Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack.
Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise.
Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.
@Ultragramps Wait.
What?
Um okay.
Side point: I wish they’d start adding “A Critical Role Novel” or “A Critical Role Album” or whatever to their releases, rather than putting their company name in the author field. I feel like even if they’re doing a lot of editorial work, it diminishes the contribution of the author.
No worries,
Having the Critical Role tag in the Author space is helpful for searches in the Amazon database. I'm sure it won't take credit from the author. Plus it's already kinda established that CR is all about giving proper credit, hence why the art scroll isn't just submissions anymore, rather a vetted group of artists who regularly contribute. Even their reputation for recognizing and celebrating behind-the-scenes crew is still good from past and present contributors, last I checked.
