Brimming with steamy romance magic and intrigue Swordcrossed is a dazzling queer fantasy from
the internationally bestselling author of The Last Binding trilogy. Low stakes. High heat.
Sharp steel . . . Mattinesh Jay dutiful heir to his struggling family business needs to hire
an experienced swordsman to serve as best man for his arranged marriage. Sword-challenge at the
ceremony could destroy all hope of restoring his family's wealth something that Matti has been
trying?and failing?to do for the past ten years. What he can afford unfortunately is
part-time con artist and full-time charming menace Luca Piere. Luca for his part is trying to
reinvent himself in a new city. All he wants to do is make some easy money and try to forget
the crime he committed in his hometown. He didn't plan on being blackmailed into giving sword
lessons to a chronically responsible?and inconveniently handsome?wool merchant like Matti.
However neither Matti's business troubles nor Luca himself are quite what they seem. As the
days count down to Matti's wedding the two of them become entangled in the intrigue and
sabotage that have brought Matti's house to the brink of ruin. And when Luca's secrets threaten
to drive a blade through their growing alliance both Matti and Luca will have to answer the
question: how many lies are you prepared to strip away when the truth could mean losing
everything you want?
