The Stone Prince

I liked this book. While it has same-sex relationships, it's not the great gay fantasy novel, but it's good. The author really does her best in the scenes between the main character Demnor and his companion Kelahnus, and telling the story about their relationship, from its rocky start to the present conflict where Demnor has to marry a woman for political reasons. Demnor is a pretty damaged character. He is the heir to throne and the power of the Living Flame, but he has been shaped by his powerful, emotionally abusive mother who is the current ruler. So the story really centers on Demnor and his struggles in life and love and inheritance, and Kelahnus' response to it all.
