About A Strange and Stubborn Endurance
Velasin vin Aaro expects disaster when his preference for men destroys his planned marriage to a Tithenai woman, but the envoy offers a new match: her brother, Caethari. Their sudden union shocks them both, especially as hostile forces move to break the alliance. To survive murder plots and court politics, Vel and Cae must learn to trust each other—and maybe find love.
