Lion Mistress Series by R.A. Steffan

Favian just wants a quiet life in the temple, serving the gods and, if he's lucky, finding the kind of companionship that society wanted to deny him, as a man who loved other men. He never asked to be stalked by a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter who seems intent on driving him to madness by being so... so... infuriating. But when his young sister goes missing from their village in the middle of the night, Favian will discover Ithric's true colors, and very possibly, his own... moreFavian just wants a quiet life in the temple, serving the gods and, if he's lucky, finding the kind of companionship that society wanted to deny him, as a man who loved other men. He never asked to be stalked by a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter who seems intent on driving him to madness by being so... so... infuriating. But when his young sister goes missing from their village in the middle of the night, Favian will discover Ithric's true colors, and very possibly, his own. Too bad the pair of them can't seem to have a simple conversation without it turning into a pitched battle. The Lion Mistress: Book 0 is a short series prequel. It contains graphic M/M sex, but does NOT contain a HEA, or even a HFN. For that, you'll need to read The Lion Mistress: Book 1 (available Nov. 30th), in which our heroes finally get themselves sorted out with the help of some much-needed outside assistance. Available only through the author's website: http://www.lionmistress.com/. less

Kathrael is a nobody—an escaped Rhytheeri slave with a face disfigured by an acid attack and a giant chip on her shoulder. Despite being alone in the world, with no possessions other than the clothes on her back, she has vowed to lead a rebellion against the brutal overseers who once owned her. First, though, she’s going to murder the cowardly bastard of a wolf-shifter who was prophesied to save them all, and didn’t. The man who destroyed her life... moreKathrael is a nobody—an escaped Rhytheeri slave with a face disfigured by an acid attack and a giant chip on her shoulder. Despite being alone in the world, with no possessions other than the clothes on her back, she has vowed to lead a rebellion against the brutal overseers who once owned her. First, though, she’s going to murder the cowardly bastard of a wolf-shifter who was prophesied to save them all, and didn’t. The man who destroyed her life. She’s fully prepared to die along the way, if that’s what it takes. But falling in love with both a eunuch priest and a scruffy, itinerant lion-shifter? Well... admittedly, that part she really didn’t see coming. Gritty and poignant, The Lion Mistress: Book 1 explores the strength of the human spirit, and the ways in which love can overcome the scars of the past. Author’s note: The Lion Mistress series is a continuation of The Eburosi Chronicles, and a companion to The Horse Mistress: Books 1-4. It contains graphic violence and graphic sex (including sex between men and consensual voyeurism), along with references to underage prostitution and past miscarriage. It is intended for a mature audience. less

Favian of Draebard has been a Seer since he was thirteen. His visions are never wrong. Now, he’s leading a slave revolt along with a crazy shapeshifter, a ghost with an attitude problem, and the most stubborn, amazing woman he’s ever met. The good news is, it looks like they might succeed. The bad news is, he’ll have to die before they do. But if Favian tells the others what the future holds, he knows they’ll move heaven and earth to stop it happening—even if doing so sentences untold thousands to subjugation and slavery at the hands of an evil tyrant. He'd always suspected that destiny could be one seriously cold-hearted bitch. Now he's sure of it. * * * The Lion Mistress: Book 3 is the concluding book in this reverse harem/poly romance series arc. It’s full-length at 93,000 words, and ends with an HEA. A special note for reverse harem lovers: I had never heard the term “reverse harem” when I wrote this series. It was always conceived as a poly romance story, just like The Horse Mistress . That said, it features one amazing woman who ends up with three adoring men at the end, and she is the glue that holds the four of them together. The pace is medium burn, and the books contain strong LGBT content. If you dislike M/M, you’ll dislike this series. less
