Overview

Newly appointed as third-in-command of the Mage Warriors, Molun is trying to do his duty and support his best friend. When he meets the newest trainee, his resolve to behave is sorely tested.

Molun isn’t known for his strict adherence to the rules, but he’s determined to support his friend Brannal now that he’s been newly appointed the Summus leading the Mage Warriors. He doesn’t think that he’s the right person to be training anyone—until he meets the novice in question. Arvus is more appealing than anyone Molun has ever encountered—and he’s had encounters with a lot of people. But Molun is supposed to be taking his role as third-in-command seriously, and so with a supreme effort, he keeps his hands to himself. At first.

It doesn’t occur to Molun that not immediately seducing someone might be considered lack of interest on his part, and once he corrects that misunderstanding, Molun falls headfirst into a delightful relationship—so much so that it begins to interfere with everything else. Can Molun figure out how to balance between a relationship and his responsibilities, or is he going to have to choose between them?

The Lost Art of Knowing What You Want is a 31K cozy, low-angst MM fantasy romance novella that takes us back to when Molun and Arvus first met, several years before the events of The Lost Art of Seducing a Mage Warrior (The Lost Arts Book 1). It can be read as a standalone.
