TNQ 19 - The Lightning-Struck Heart (Ch 1 - 8)

May 22, 2021 • The Novel Queers • Episode 19

Our first ever requested book is The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Book Daddy Klune!

Thanks for the suggestion, Jools10! We love it so far!

Sam Haversford figured out he had magic at around about eleven years old when he accidentally turned a bunch of teenage dirtbags into stone. Since then, he earned the title "Sam of Wilds" when he emerged from the Dark Woods with Gary, the hornless gay unicorn, and Tiggy, a half-giant with a knack for smashing anything and everything that threatens them.

Now Sam faces his biggest challenge yet - his crush is dating a douchebag who also just so happens to be a prince and Sam's future boss.
