Edgmon takes us from the slow, lazy, dry heat of Laredo, Texas to the fast-paced political intrigue of Asalin. The Witch King is so good that I foresee sequels and prequels. Trigger warnings: violence, child abuse, childhood sexual harassment and assault, allusions to pedophilia, suicidal ideation and mentions of suicide, misgendering, drug use, and mentions of infertility and miscarriage. And as the witches face worsening conditions, he must decide once and for all what’s more important-his people or his freedom. But as he gets to know Emyr, Wyatt realizes the boy he once loved may still exist. Jaded, Wyatt strikes a deal with the enemy, hoping to escape Asalin forever.

In fact, he claims they must marry now or risk losing the throne. Despite transgender Wyatt’s newfound identity and troubling past, Emyr has no intention of dissolving their engagement. Now a coldly distant Emyr has hunted him down. But when Wyatt lost control of his magic one devastating night, he fled to the human world.

Wyatt’s betrothal to his best friend, fae prince Emyr North, was supposed to change that. In Asalin, fae rule and witches like Wyatt Croft…don’t.
