Tusk Love (2026)

A merchant’s daughter who longs for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars. As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere is expected to marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s status and live quietly as an obedient lordling’s wife. Instead, she dreams of freedom, passion and adventure. Those dreams become reality when bandits attack her caravan, kill her guards and leave her stranded on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel with Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her. Oskar is heading to a land he has never seen to find family he has never met, and the last thing he needs is Guinevere slowing him down, even if sparks fly between them. As their passion grows, they must choose between their expected destinations and their blossoming romance. Written by Thea Guanzon at the request of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, this is the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves.
