Trap Your Lovers: Broken Song, #1

By Vaela Denarr and Micah Iannandrea

Perilous quests give rise to heroes. And broken songs call for Chosen Ones to be mended.

 

Roderick and Keeva, once friends, now orphaned by a dragon's wrath that fractured the harmony between the great clans, spend their days locked in battle… until they are reunited, realizing that they're both dating the same guy: Mateo, whose overdue transformation into a dragon is complicated by feelings of self doubt after the disastrous attempt to broker peace.

 

Choosing to get along is one thing, but forgiving one another—or themselves—for the hurt they've inflicted is another. Keeva keeps seeing the face of her dead best friend in her dreams, and Roderick's suspicion and distrust keep him up at night. Soon, though, a great threat unites them against a common foe.

 

Someone has stolen a song from the gods, disrupting the tenuously rebuilt harmony of their homeland, and the very beast that tore them apart threatens to be set loose. True heroes of Koor Kosma are required to serve as vessels for the other four godly songs and reforge the divine harmony.

Neither Roderick nor Keeva are such heroes, but unless they can unite the divine and broken songs, unless harmony brings the shattered clans together, all will burn.

 

They are not chosen.

They are not the heroes of this story.

They are broken.

And they must be forgiven.

 

The Broken Song Duology is a story about queer grief, trauma, forgiveness and finding your place in the world.
