9 Years Yearning: A Gay Fantasy Romance
by Cameron SidhePublish: Jun 25, 2024Series: The Eirenic VersesNew Adult Romance Romance LGBT FantasyBook Overview
In a world where poetry is power, two boys at war with themselves may be each other’s salvation.Uileac Korviridi lost everything at age eleven: his parents in a raid on their peaceful farm, his home to the cold walls of the strict War Academy. All he has left is his younger sister, Cerie, now studying magical poetry at the revered High Poet Society. Even as he trains to become a fierce archer, Uileac cannot help but mourn everything he was forced to leave behind.
Orrinir Relickim, by contrast, never had anything to lose. Abandoned by negligent parents and raised by the Academy itself, he's desperate to stand out. Especially in the eyes of Uileac, the stuck-up boy who masks his grief with pride.
What begins as a rivalry slowly transforms into something deeper in this slow-burn, friends-to-lovers gay fantasy novel. Queer longing simmers beneath every argument, evolving into a bond neither of them fully understands but certainly can't ignore.
Set in a vividly imagined world where poems wield tangible power, 9 Years Yearning is a character-driven fantasy about identity, desire, and the inner conflicts that can feel even more dangerous than the battlefield.
This emotionally rich coming-of-age fantasy launches the 10-part Eirenic Verses series, which features lyrical prose in a richly imagined world.
For fans of The Song of Achilles or The Raven Boys, 9 Years Yearning offers a powerful story of love, war, and the magic of words.
