Anshan-Kim, 7th century BC Assyrian warrior catamite, beautiful, lethal, loyal and brave, coveted and cursed, man lover and man killer; betrayed, captured, and enslaved. Emancipated, feted, fatally attractive, tender and tormented, merciful and murderous. Transformed. Favored by the gods, or godforsaken?
This book is brilliant. Written beautifully about a most brutal time in history that isn't normally considered. The story follows a single person in their journey from childhood to adulthood. Based in the 600BC era.
The opening of this story lays the theme for the whole book and I don't know what else to write without ruining the story.
Just know that this is a stunning and violent MM book that is rife with fear and terror and love and hope. It has neither a happy or sad ending. Though that is subject to opinion.
You just need to read this book. It will break your heart and bring you to your knees.
