The Dragon Sword: An LGBTQ+ Fantasy (The Usurpers Saga Book 1)

A murdered mage. A legendary sword. A poet in peril!
The mightiest wizard of all time is dead, murdered by ambitious rivals who crave his power. Locked in his tower are the secrets to world conquest. The only man who can retrieve them is the son he never loved.

Calibot thought he’d finally found happiness as a poet in the court of an influential duke. But the same ruthless sorcerers who killed his father are now after him. His only defense is the legendary dragon sword, Wyrmblade, his lone bequest for a miserable childhood. Enchanted within the sword’s steel is the key to his father’s magic. But using it could cost Calibot his soul. Worse, this may always have been his father’s plan.

As he struggles to complete the mad last wishes of the father he loathes, everyone with a stake in The Known World’s future will try to stop him – his power-hungry uncle, the murderers, even an earth fairy bent on revenge. If Calibot fails, he dies. If he succeeds, he’ll lose everything he’s ever loved . . . including himself.
