Synopsis: Ren Frayne is the bastard son of the Queen of Frayne, a title he’s more than comfortable with when it brings him limited responsibilities, and all the luxuries of life he could ever want. But when the king and Ren’s half-brother, Crown Prince Hellic are brutally murdered, Ren is accused. Now, he is forced to flee the city together with the mysterious prisoner Anik who may know how to survive in the wild, but who seems to have an agenda of his own. One that may spell danger for Ren. Ren’s accuser now sits on his family’s throne, and things are about to get much, much worse. It may be time to seek help in unexpected places.

So what is it and where can I find it? Stag’s Run is the first book in an LGBT+ fantasy/adventure novel trilogy, the second book scheduled to be released in the next half year. Iron Breakers: Stag’s Run will be available 100% for free on Amazon as an e-book. Art and regular updates are posted to the @ironbreakers Tumblr, and the series also has a Patreon. If you have any questions regarding this series, please don’t hesitate to send an ask to @ironbreakers and I’ll do my best to help you out!

I am so excited about the release of this novel, and I hope you’ll all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating this universe.

So I was just doing a book project thing for English, and I was looking for a picture of Micum to use when I found this.

ALEC!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[catchmeifyoucreon]

Alec closed cold fingers over his own. “What is it? You look like you’ve seen your own ghost.” A desperate ache lanced through Seregil as he looked down into those dark blue eyes. […] “I can’t tell you, talí, because I’d only have to lie,” he said, suddenly dejected. […] “More secrets,” Alec said, looking solemn and unhappy. “Yes, more secrets. I need your trust in this, Alec. Can you give it?” Alec looked sidelong at the fire for a long moment, then locked eyes with him again and replied in halting Aurënfaie, “Rei phöril tös tókun meh brithir, vrí sh'ruit'ya.” Though you thrust your dagger at my eyes, I will not flinch. A solemn oath, and one Seregil had pledged him not so long ago. Seregil let out a small, relieved laugh. “Thank you. If you don’t mind, I think I’ll take a rest. Why don’t you go have a look through those books we found?” Alec got up to go without a word. But he paused in the doorway, looking back at Seregil still sitting by the fire. “What does talí mean? Is it Aurënfaie?” “Talí?” A ghost of the old grin tugged at one corner of Seregil’s mouth. “Yes, it’s an Aurënfaie term of endearment, rather old-fashioned, like beloved. Where’d you pick that up?”

Goodreads is so funny. 

Sometimes its all:

“Gay? Fantasy? Here’s more!” Good! Yes! Bring on the gay!

But then it’s all:

“Because you like Morgan Rhodes.. you might also like.. Morgan Rhodes! And might we suggest Falling Kingdoms #1 since you liked Falling Kingdoms #3?” ... gee.. thanks goodreads..

“You don’t know anything about these worlds,” he said, but the fight was bleeding out of his voice.

“Sure I do,” countered Lila cheerfully. “There’s Dull London, Kell London, Creepy London, and Dead London,” she recited, ticking them off on her fingers. “See? I’m a fast learner.”

I need a moment.

I"m so sorry i am spamming you all with nightrunner stuff.

You just don’t understand.

I think these books are better than harry potter

they are literal god

two men with great charachter development who are theives and awesome that fall in love and have a fucking healthy relationship.

(lots of lgbt books I have read have focused on really…really unhealthy homosexual relationships and or questioning and abuse.)

On another note their relationship is not the center of the plot.

It just sorta happens.

And you care so much about the characters.

And there’s so much you learn.

There’s Aurenen and Skala and Plenimar and Zengat and all that and although the first couple chapters are CRAMMED with information you feel like you’ll need to memorize. 

You don’t…. It’s just for the characters. You learn it one way or another anyway!

Plus.

You start saying the freaking things they say.

I said ’Illior’s Fingers’ the other day on accident and everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

You just. You fall in love.

With the characters, with the adventure, with the relationships, with everything.,.

I can’t recommend this book enough. <3

I’ve read 2 and I started on three today. 

But never before have I read 1/3 of one book. THEN went and bought the other 6.. NEVER. 

You can buy them all on amazon used for about $4 a piece. (except for the last 2, they are a bit more expensive but only like…$5-$6 each.)

This is just…the best book ever and I’m sorry for spamming ya’ll.
