Samuel Settle (samuelsettle) | 5 comments Read around 2016, but don't really know when it was published (guessing sometime after 2000).

The novel is framed as a letter from the main character to his brother, who's still in the normal world.

A boy stumbles into a magical world, meets a nymph-type character who transforms him into a physically powerful adult man, takes him as a lover, and then sets him loose in a medieval type world.

RANDOM PLOT POINT: He doesn't use a sword for most of the story, instead he has a sort of long iron bar / club.

Samuel Settle (samuelsettle) | 5 comments Adult fiction. Had kind of a Guy Gavriel Kay flavor, but it is not a Kay novel.

Samuel, are there fantastical creatures such as dragons (e.g., The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe)?

Great. Glad you found your book, Samuel. It pays to guess. (The first book in the series - The Knight by Gene Wolfe).
