Knowing the truth of the matter from its inception didn’t make the words any less repulsive to hear. Nor did it alter Malory’s answer. “I shall never consent to the match.”

Milford’s gaze narrowed. A faint smile twitched at the corner of his moustache. “Oh, but I think you shall.”

The Oak King Holly King audiobook is finally here!

The Oak King Holly King audiobook is finally here! Narrated by the incredible Gary Furlong and available wherever you find your favorite audiobooks, be it Audible, Spotify, libro.fm, Kobo, or through your local library via Libby and Hoopla.

Oak King Holly King is a queer romantasy wherein a fearsome fae warrior destined for ritual sacrifice seeks a Victorian clerk fated to save him.

Perfect for readers who enjoy…
• fae folklore
• Victorian shenanigans
• big buff guys who just wanna be soft
• sharp little guys who are tired of being kicked around
• lush fantasy worlds, liminal spaces, cozy cottagecore vibes, and queer community.

Shrike, the Butcher of Blackthorn, is a legendary warrior of the fae realms. When he wins a tournament in the Court of the Silver Wheel, its queen names him her Oak King – a figurehead destined to die in a ritual duel to invoke the change of seasons. Shrike is determined to survive. Even if it means he must put his heart as well as his life into a mere mortal’s hands.

Wren Lofthouse, a London clerk, has long ago resigned himself to a life of tedium and given up his fanciful dreams. When a medieval-looking brute arrives at his office to murmur of destiny, he’s inclined to think his old enemies are playing an elaborate prank. Still, he can’t help feeling intrigued by the bizarre-yet-handsome stranger and his fantastical ramblings, whose presence stirs up emotions Wren has tried to lock away in the withered husk of his heart.

As Shrike whisks Wren away to a world of Wild Hunts and arcane rites, Wren is freed from the repression of Victorian society. But both the fae and mortal realms prove treacherous to their growing bond. Wren and Shrike must fight side-by-side to see who will claim victory – Oak King or Holly King.

Malory glanced between them, looking as though he’d forgotten how to breathe and didn’t particularly mind it.

Octavio slipped a hand behind the nape of his neck and kissed the breath back into him.
