Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die
THE INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER.
In this hilarious gay fantasy romance, a reclusive sorcerer is forced to protect a cowardly knight after a prophecy ties their fates together. Funny, touching and inventive, this brilliant debut is perfect for fans of Django Wexler and Dreadful.
In Which Many Dangerous and Homosexual Things Happen.
All his life, Sir Cameron has stayed as far away from danger as possible. He is quite frankly too handsome to die a pointless death in battle. But then the Church hands down a prophecy to his fellow knights: the only way to defeat their nemesis, the mad sorcerer Merulo, is to kill Sir Cameron. Short of ideas, Cameron throws himself on the mercy of the one person who now actually wants him to survive: the mad sorcerer.
Merulo isn’t thrilled to be babysitting a spoilt, attention-seeking knight, but transmogrifying him into a vulture is at least entertaining. Cameron, meanwhile, is on a voyage of self-discovery. It turns out he’s really, really into surly sorcerers who lock him up and tell him what to do. Who knew?
As a legion of knights surround their stronghold, the sorcerer’s poisonous ambitions draw ever closer to fruition. Cameron is quite invested in not dying, but he finds he’s also invested in Merulo. And sometimes, supporting the sorcerer you care about means taking an interest in their hobbies. Even if that hobby is trying to kill God.
Even if it might get you killed, too.
Fall in love with this laugh-out loud, genre-bending romp full of concussed elves and queer romance like you've never seen before.

Finished March 22, 2026
I went into this one with high hopes thinking it was going to be a really fun queer fantasy romance reminiscent of assistant to the villain or the dark lords guide to dating. This was not that. It started about cringey but humorous and I could seethe potential, things really went down hill from there and I honestly don’t even know half of what was going on in the last half of the book. One thing I really didn’t like was that the first time anything happened between the mc and the sorcerer it was when he was a woman and then after he was a man it was only implied very fade to black when it felt more explicit before. That really rubbed me the wrong way. Things just went down hill from there with the mcs being unlikable and nothing at the end adding up. Along with things being added at the end that felt like they had no planning. This really was not for me.
