If you are new to Fantasy-Faction, the Publishers’ Choice article is where we spend a few weeks going to each Publishing House we are friendly with in turn and asking them: “Can you give us 5 books that you think readers should look out for this coming year?” (The two weeks it takes to put this article together should explain the references to Christmas and New Year – our Publishing Professionals aren’t in some kind of time loop!). Dimensions: 0.00in - 0.00in - 0.00in - 0.Can you believe it… It’s 2016 already! And you know what that means, right? It’s time for another one of Fantasy-Faction’s most popular posts of the year: “Most Anticipated Fantasy Novels of 2016: Publishers’ Choice”.Pursued by unknown assailants and with Qi-Xihan's court factions jockeying for power, Vel and Cae must use all the skills at their disposal to not only survive, but thrive - because there's more than one way to end an alliance, and more than one person who wants to see them fail. Cae's recent losses have left him racked with grief and guilt, while Vel struggles with the disconnect between instincts that have kept him safe in secrecy and what an open life requires of him now. With Caethari newly invested as his grandmother's heir and Velasin's old ghosts gnawing at his heels, what little peace they've managed to find is swiftly put to the test. But the wider political ramifications of their marriage are still playing out across two nations, and all too soon, they're summoned north to Tithena's capital city, Qi-Xihan, to present themselves to its monarch. With the plot against them foiled and the city of Qi-Katai in safe hands, Velasin and Caethari have begun to test the waters of their relationship. The follow-up to Foz Meadows's A Strange and Stubborn Endurance, a sultry political & romantic fantasy exploring gender, sexuality, identity, and self-worth.
