"A sweeping triumph in queer romance." -Booklist

"What if I told you that the feeling we call love is actually the feeling of metaphysical recognition, when your soul remembers someone from a previous life?"

In the year 4 BCE, an ambitious courtier is called upon to seduce the young emperor--but quickly discovers they are both ruled by blood, sex and intrigue.

In 1740, a lonely innkeeper agrees to help a mysterious visitor procure a rare medicine, only to unleash an otherworldly terror instead.

And in present-day Los Angeles, a college student meets a beautiful stranger and cannot shake the feeling they've met before.

Across these seemingly unrelated timelines woven together only by the twists and turns of fate, two men are reborn, lifetime after lifetime. Within the treacherous walls of an ancient palace and the boundless forests of the Asian wilderness to the heart-pounding cement floors of underground rave scenes, our lovers are inexplicably drawn to each other, constantly tested by the worlds around them.

As their many lives intertwine, they begin to realize the power of their undying love--a power that transcends time itself...but one that might consume them both.

An unpredictable roller coaster of a debut novel, The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a genre-bending spicy romantasy that challenges everything we think we know about true love.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a heart-pounding romantasy, full of shocking twists, morally shifty characters, and erotic thrills. When it comes to the romance within this novel, you can expect equal parts mess and swoon, but its central thread is an epic tale of true love against all the odds.

5,0 z 5 gwiazdek No HEA - so perhaps not for everyone but I loved this fantastical romance through the ages.
Opinia napisana w Stanach Zjednoczonych dnia 12 kwietnia 2024
**TL;DR**: No HEA - so perhaps not for everyone but I loved this fantastical romance through the ages.

The Emperor and the Endless Palace is a unique and deeply magical story of two men, trapped in a loop of reincarnation. Over 2000 years they find and loose each other and over the course of this novel we watch them through three lifetimes to find out how and why. There is no HEA here, so for my more traditional romance readers, I don’t recommend going in for one. The ending is bittersweet but also holds promise - I would most definitely read a sequel but I’m also happy with where this ended.

Current day we follow River as he goes out after a one night stand, to a club where he meets Joey. The two have a magnetic attraction, and seem unable to escape each others orbit. Meanwhile we follow two other timelines, two other lives of River and Joey. One is the story of a young man and the Emperor of the Endless Palace in Ancient China, the other is the story of a young fox spirit and an innkeeper in China during the 18th century. These stories always end similarly, with death or loss, but are also filled with love as River and Joey seek, loose, and find each other over the course of our present day story.

I also have to warn that this one is not for the faint of heart. There is a lot of sexual content, very casually. Drug use is common in two timelines, and attempted sexual attempt happens at least once. In addition there is some very graphic infidelity on page which may make others uncomfortable. For all that, I loved this story. Nothing felt wasted or used poorly. Everything served a purpose and was needed for the story. I highly recommend it for my more adventurous romance reading friends, I loved it so much I can’t wait to have my hands on my pre-order.

Opinia napisana w Kanadzie dnia 7 kwietnia 2024
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I had heard mixed reviews and wanted to see for myself what the book was about. I have read erotica. Yes it has some bits in there but only for the purpose and timeline of the story. I think some readers were confused by this. I thought the author wrote a very interesting story exploring the relationship between two people. This is a must read for everyone.

I was a little surprised at first to see that the story takes place in different times. Instead of telling one time's storyline at a time, the author decided to do a chapter per storyline. For example, story one starts in chapter one, story two starts in chapter two, story three starts in chapter three, then story one continues in chapter four, story two continues in chapter five, and so on. The farther into the book you get, though, the more things start to connect, and I think that was such an amazing way to write this! The author has a wonderful writing style that's easy to follow, as well as imagine. Perfect amount of detail! Wonderful story 💙

Opinia napisana w Stanach Zjednoczonych dnia 11 kwietnia 2024
I loved this book from start to finish. I loved how it was written, I loved the story, and I loved how it all tied together in the end. My favorite line was, “I don’t want to be in a love story unless I’m a co-lead.” I normally read a book a week, but I took a month with this one so I could savor it. Of the 100 books I’ve read in the past year and a half, this was my favorite.

I had the great honor of reading this book before its release, and I was completely captivated!

From the moment I opened its pages, I was transported to a world of magic, romance, and adventure. The author's storytelling prowess is nothing short of remarkable. Five stars are simply not enough to express my admiration for this book!

The characters are beautifully crafted, and I found myself deeply invested in their journey. The love story that unfolds is both passionate and heartwarming, tugging at my heartstrings with each turn of the page. The intricate world-building adds an extra layer of enchantment, making me wish I could step into this mesmerizing world myself.
