An alliance forged through marriage. The cost? One Man’s dream. Tristan dreams of the day he’ll succeed his father as the next Warlord of Markaytia. Elves—creatures famous for their darker passions—approach the Markaytian king with an offer he can’t refuse: an alliance with the Elves for the one Tristan Kanes. Tristan is forced to give up his dream. He’s not thrilled, but Tristan is a man of duty above all else. What choice does he have? He cannot refuse the king or Markaytia. He begrudgingly comes to terms with the arranged marriage. Is he a tad sour about it? Yes, but he’ll get over it. Probably. Maybe it won’t be so bad. Elves have cool weapons, maybe he’ll get one? Corrik bans him from cool weapons. Corrik’s seen Tristan’s gruesome death on the point of a sword in a prophetic vision. He bans Tristan from picking up a sword ever again. Tristan wants to accept the marriage with grace to make his people proud, but he resents Corrik for his remorseless attitude over his life’s work. Facing the Ice Prince and himself. Tristan’s conflict follows him on the journey to the mysterious Elven land of Mortouge. He hates Corrik for taking him from the life he loved, boy does he, but his new Elven husband is an enigma and he’s captivated. He sets Tristan’s blood on fire and freezes it at the same time. Corrik unravels Tristan’s true nature and despite his best efforts, Tristan falls for his ice prince. But Corrik won’t bend. Can these two find a suitable compromise? Or will Tristan’s resentment and Corrik’s arrogance ruin forever their chance at love? Tristan by Mock (S. Legend) is a gay romance fantasy featuring enemies to lovers vibes, an age gap, arranged marriage, first times, and a happy ending (um, eventually). This is the first action-adventure romance in the Tristan Trilogy. Mock may have written it down, but truly it’s told by your lovable host, Tristan Kanes. He’s funny, sarcastic and while it may not seem it at times, he’s the real person in charge of this story.

Tristan, former junior warlord of Markaytia, thought he’d found a cushy hiding place as a prisoner of Aldrien. Life was simple—play with weapons by day, tumble with the beautiful Aldrien warlord by night. Best of all, he can’t be blamed for a thing—he’s the prisoner of this story! His hideaway is ruined when the Aldrien king threatens to kill him (rude) and he’s forced to return to Mortouge. It’s not that he’s fallen out of love with Corrik, if anything he’s a fool for still being in love with him despite having also fallen for the Aldrien warlord, Prince Bayaden. And Corrik used a love spell on Tristan (probably) and Corrik doesn’t care about what Tristan wants—he took away his dagger for the Gods’ sake—plus, he’s an overprotective brute. When they’re reunited, Corrik’s paranoid measures become too much for Tristan to bear. But even then, he loves Corrik, madly. Corrik is sent on a mission he never returns from. He’s pronounced dead and Tristan is faced with yet another arranged marriage, this time with the crown prince of Mortouge, Corrik’s eldest brother, Alrik. Tristan isn’t willing to let Corrik go easily. When no one will send another search party after him, Tristan’s hell bent on doing it himself. Only it might already be too late.

The Thrilling Conclusion to the Tristan Trilogy Tristan's got it made. He fights alongside his beloved, he has two men who dote on him faithfully, and the stars have promised him he's to do great things for his Elven people. What more could a guy want? Unfortunately, there's that little, tiny detail about the Emperor of the Underworld knocking at their door, and a growing army of witch wyrms to deal with. Plus, Tristan's already dramatic love life explodes to epic proportions when Bayaden shows up in an unexpected way. The dragon in Tristan's blood stirs and he's off on another wild adventure. This time the stakes are real—if he doesn't get it together, the whole Elven realm could pay for his folly. A triple play MM story with dragons and swords and elves. And basically, the usual with Tristan getting himself in over his head and having to fight his way out of it. It’s got plenty of the caretaking dynamic Mock (S. Legend) is known for.
