โฆ Synopsis
A con man. An immortal demigod. A chance at love that could save the universe.
In the far future, interstellar con man Anais Cavere takes the job of his life to impersonate his hero, immortal demigod Barenin Lyr. But his job as contract king to an unstable world takes a dangerous turn when he learns it was his hero who hired him. Barenin sweeps Anais into a web of cosmic intrigue with consequences spanning the universe. And genderfluid Barenin, while she's at it, might also sweep Anais off his feet.
Good King Lyr is a slow-burn, genderfluid, #ownvoices romance!
Content note: It's important to me as a transgender/nonbinary person to let the characters have frank conversations around gender and transgender issues, including denial and dysphoria. Please read with self-care.
