“A delicious tangle of romance, fealty, and dangerous politics.”—Tasha Suri

The Goblin Emperor meets "Magnificent Century" in Alexandra Rowland's A Taste of Gold and Iron, where a queer central romance unfolds in a fantasy world reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire.

Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, finds himself at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court—the body-father of the queen's new child—in an altercation which results in his humiliation.

To prove his loyalty to the queen, his sister, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds, with the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy, and the conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing and bring about its ruin.

“A delicious tangle of romance, fealty, and dangerous politics.”―Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne

“A Taste of Gold and Iron is a slow-burn romance flush with sexy, complicated relationships and founded on the ethics of duty and love. As indulgent and satisfying as your favorite fanfiction.”―Tessa Gratton, author of The Queens of Innis Lear

“Witty, clever, and often extremely funny, Rowland’s tale of a prince who doesn’t want power but has it anyway―and must survive all the risks that brings with it―somehow manages to be both soft and hard-edged, clever and kind. And sexy! Very much that too.”―Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings
