#SunsetChat Hello! I'm Alex Larkspur and I write queer fantasy! I'm going to start working on The Bird and the Blade again on October 1st, so that's my current WIP!

Over a green background: THE BIRD AND THE BLADE: MM Fantasy Romance
Comps: Not For the Faint of Heart, The Scottish Boy, Greenwode
Tropes: 🪶 MM Fantasy Romance
🪶 Bandit x Noble
🪶 Kidnapping!
🪶 Questioning Power
Structures
🪶 Singing Bandits
🪶 Robin Hood Vibes
🪶 Certified Bird Guy
A picture of an arrow, a feather, and a sword
Blurb: Callum Amberline is about to get married, but there is one small problem. He’s been kidnapped by bandits. Callum should be furious and indignant, but he’s not these bandits seem to understand him better than his family or betrothed ever have. Especially Wilder, the son of the bandit queen. But one shouldn’t be friendly with one’s kidnappers.
Wilder may have made an impulsive decision kidnapping the betrothed of his arch nemesis, but he’s having a hard time regretting it. He likes Callum, noble though he may be.
As the unfortunate circumstances of their meeting catch of with them, Callum and Wilder must ignore the simmering attraction between them. You can’t fall in love with your kidnapper.
Right?

Promo image with a story quote from A Study on Magic and Crystals, available on most ebook distributors for US$ 7.99, showing part of the cover: a fairy with white skin, pink hair, eyes and wings; a black human princess with afro hair and crystaline crown and earrings; and a white human woman with chanel black hair with a skeleton cat on her shoulder. The quote reads:

"'What do you think, Kala? Do I have a chance?'

The skeleton cat simply looked at the necromancer before jumping from her shoulder and calmly walking over the snow.

'That’s gonna hurt my feelings, you know?' Marcela joked, but followed the cat."

#AwesomeCharacters Milo is *usually* a pretty patient person. He's from a big family, so he's used to waiting his turn. He is a little impatient about the curse. He needs to find a way to lift it from himself in five days before it kills him, so I think that's pretty fair! 😅

Alan is extremely patient. This makes him very good at his job, but arguably he's too patient. He can patiently endure a lot of bullshit, so he does, even when maybe he shouldn't. Sven is capable of being patient, but he actively chooses not to be, because he's an ungovernable gremlin.
