The Necromancer's Prisoner

“Tonight, there was no paladin or necromancer—only two men, huddled together against the cold and the storm and the harsh world outside.”

Alistair's first solo mission sounded simple enough: purge the undead terrorizing a remote mountain village and bring the wicked necromancer controlling them to justice. But when he's captured, he begins to suspect that the village faces a far greater threat than a few skeletons…and that his strange captor might need protecting just as badly.

Paladins have hunted Ignatius his entire life. His crime: daring to be born with the wrong kind of magic. The mountains seemed like the perfect place to seek refuge for the winter…until an obnoxiously handsome paladin arrives on his doorstep.

Forced to shelter together by a harsh winter storm, Alistair and Ignatius have every reason not to trust the other. Yet, as mysterious magic threatens to eradicate the nearby village, they have little choice but to set aside their differences and work together for the greater good...unless the rift between them proves too wide to ever bridge.

The Necromancer’s Prisoner is a slow burn, low heat M/M fantasy romance featuring enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and a hard-won HEA. Every book in Hearts of Allaria is standalone and can be read in any order.
