Bromantasy by Máire Roche

Two heroes. One brain cell.

Pull up a chair by the window—maybe listen to the waves roll in over Perkins Cove—because this one’s a keeper. Bromantasy is a cozy, queer fantasy about the mortifying ordeal of being known by your totally platonic best friend, and the epic quest that might just force you to confront the truth.

Fellas, is it gay to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?

Meet Juniper O’Reilly, a hero good at exactly two things: demolishing a pint of mead and perfecting his skincare routine. Everything else falls to his best friend Mo Elmthorn—absurdly capable, endlessly patient, and (unfortunately for Juniper’s focus) very good-looking in a pair of questing pants.

When Juniper accidentally volunteers them both to slay a fearsome monster, the two set off into the dark, damp, mushroom-strewn wilderness. But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. And the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill? She’s just a scared little girl torn from her family—which means the real villain is still out there, and so, maybe, is a happy ending.

It’s warm. It’s funny. It’s the kind of story you’ll want to read curled up on a rainy afternoon, laughing out loud and rooting for two idiots in love.

A special note for collectors: This deluxe limited first run edition features beautifully designed colored edges—only while supplies last. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Come linger a while. We think you’re going to love this one.
