✅ Book 1 in The King's Weaver Series
When she disguises as a man to get out of marrying him, but the tyrant king falls for her anyway:
“Please,” he says. “Please tell me you’ll stay close by my side.”
My knees are threatening to buckle. Because the heat in his eyes has gone from anger to…something else.
I’ve never seen anyone look at me with the hunger, the desperation, he’s looking at me with now.
He doesn’t know me. But he trusts me. He trusts me enough to let me see his insecurities. To let me see his fear, and his hope.
And I’m about to crush it.
I have to tell him who I am. I'm not the man he's falling for, but the princess he doesn't want to marry.
My eyes burn as I take him in. This one last trusting moment before it all goes away again.
I open my mouth—
And he closes the final gap between us, and presses his lips to mine.

Try the story
The disguise is already in place.
Read the opening of Book 1, in Irava’s own words.
It’s spring, but the corridor outside the throne room is cold as a tomb. My breath mists as I pause with the other court mage candidates outside the broad oak doors, waiting for the guards to open them. I catch a reflection in a guard’s polished shield, and for a moment, I don’t remember that it’s mine.
But it is. That young man with shoulder-length, light brown hair and dark brown eyes peering at me from behind wire-rimmed spectacles is…me. It’s an illusion, but it’s a damned good one. Because I’m not actually a man.
But no one here can know that.

Hi, I’m Novae. I write queer romantasy about people falling in love, finding their courage and discovering who they are. In The King’s Weaver, those discoveries begin with a magical disguise and a very inconvenient king.
