A Bond of Three
K.C. Wells
In the kingdom of Teruna, the red-cloaked Seruani teach the Terunans the art of love. Taken from their homes at seventeen to be trained, they are shunned as outcasts by society and considered the lowest of the low. So when Prince Tanish falls in love with the Seruan Feyar, the man who took his virginity and the only one to share his bed, he is not about to declare that love. No one can ever know, because the consequences would be too painful to consider for both of them.
When the king of Vancor visits Teruna, he promises that his son, Prince Sorran, will marry Prince Tanish to solidify the alliance between the two kingdoms, with the proviso that the virginal Sorran is instructed in the art of pleasing his husband-to-be. When Tanish’s father chooses Feyar to be this instructor, the lovers decide Prince Sorran must be taught that this is to be a marriage in name only….
A resentful prince, unwilling to share his lover.
A resentful Seruan, unwilling to share his prince.
And the shy prince whose very nature sparks changes in the lives of all those around them.
Teruna is about to change forever.
Excerpt
“We are alone,” Sorran said after a few minutes. “Tell me of the cashor. You have intrigued me.”
Tanish thought for a moment how best to begin. “It is worn by the Seruani.” Sorran’s furrowed brow told him what he needed to know. He sighed. “The Seruani are those men and women who provide a special service. They instruct us in the pleasures of the flesh. A husband whose wife no longer wishes to share her bed with him, those who have lost their partners, youths who seek their first experience to be with someone knowledgeable—all these people can pay for their services.”
Sorran’s forehead smoothed out. “Ah, I understand. We have such people in Vencor.” That frown was back suddenly. “But I am still confused. Why would someone not pay us heed if we wear the cashor?”
Tanish stared at him. “Because Seruani are considered the lowest of the low. When a youth is taken to be trained as a Seruan, he or she loses all contact with his or her family. If a Seruan was to be seen in the street by a family member, they would not be acknowledged. In truth, they would be shunned.”
Sorran pulled at Forena’s reins, bringing the stallion to a dead stop.
Tanish halted Nerita and twisted in his saddle to regard Sorran. “What is the matter?”
Sorran shook his head, his expression pained. “In Vancor, such people are revered. They are viewed as mystical.”
Tanish was astonished. “But why?” He could not believe such a difference in attitude could exist.
Sorran tilted his head. “My teachers tell me that when two people make love, their joy can be such that they almost touch the heavens. Surely one who can help you reach such levels is a person to be cherished, valued, revered.”
His description brought tears to Tanish’s eyes. To think that but for an accident of geography, Feyar could have been born into a land where his gifts would have had worth, where he would have been treasured. Tanish bowed his head, eyes closed, overwhelmed with emotion.
A soft hand came to rest on his arm. “What ails you, Tanish?” Sorran’s voice was low and lilting, his concern audible.
Tanish opened his eyes and gave Sorran a feeble smile. “For many years I have wept at the thought of those chosen to be Seruani, shunned by their families and society. I have wished for change.”
Sorran smiled, his dark eyes flashing. “But you are to be king one day, just as I will be. A king wields so much power.” He leaned closer, his gaze fixed on Tanish. “If a king does not like a law, he has the power to change it.”
Tanish shook his head. “To do so would be to insult those who drew up the laws in the first place.”
Sorran quirked his eyebrows. “Who created those laws? And when?”
“I do not know. It has always been so.” Tanish had reflected upon that many times.
Sorran frowned. “That does not mean it must remain so. And laws can be changed a little at a time. Take small steps, but always be sure of your goal.” He patted Tanish’s arm. “Win the people’s hearts first, and then lead them where you will go. If you act justly, your motives clear, they will follow you.”
Sorran’s earnest expression seemed older than his years. Tanish gazed at the prince in wonder. Sorran’s words resonated deep within him, sparking a flame of hope—and something else. For the first time in a long while, Tanish felt at peace with his destiny.
About K.C.
Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C.Wells always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.
K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, where the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings – writing about men in love was even hotter…
K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career.
The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

Review: Feyar is a member of the Seruani, taken from his home when he was seventeen he was trained in the arts of pleasure, as a Seruani it is his duty to train others of his homeland, Teruna, in the arts of love but outside of the bedroom they are shunned, looked down on and ignored. Tanish is the Prince of Teruna, he fell in love with Feyar and Feyar has been his only lover but they both know they can never declare their love for each other. When the King of Vancor visits Teruna an alliance is forged and Tanish must marry Prince Sorran, Feyar must instruct Sorran in the art of love much to the despair of both Tanish and Feyar. Sorran is pleased with his upcoming marriage, he knows he was meant for Tanish but meeting Feyar throws his senses into turmoil. A love triangle where one love is forbidden and another unwanted, three men drawn together but torn by the strictures of society. Will their love shatter laws made long ago? Or will the laws of the past shatter their love?
This is a great subtle fantasy story that shatters the norms of society and brings back something that was stifled long ago. For seven years Feyar and Tanish have been lovers, their love is a secret that can never be acknowledged. Feyar never wanted to be a Seruani, he was taken from his home and forced to become one. Now he can never see his family, he is looked down on by everyone else across the land only useful when he is needed for sex, for the last seven years his only lover has been the prince but no matter how much the prince loves him it will never be acknowledged. Tanish yearns to be open with his love for Feyar but the laws must be followed, no one would ever stand for it so he continues to love Feyar in secret, having to marry Sorran is not what he wants but he will do his duty and make it plain to the other prince that theirs will never be anything but a political match. Sorran has a gift and that gift lets him know that Tanish is the one for him, but love is never easy and Sorran finds himself drawn into an established loving relationship. But more is at stake as a neighbouring kingdom, Kandor, looks set to renew hostilities and the gifts that once inhabited Teruna are set to be lost forever.
Sorran is a sweet and caring character; his gifts are special and just might be what Teruna and Vancor need to restore the balance. Feyar is a great character who is in a position that he can’t do anything about, just wish that things were different. Tanish is a wonderful character who is torn between his heart and what is right for his land. All three characters make this story great as they work to stay together and love each other equally. The storyline is really good with the magical aspects seeping through a bit at a time with Sorran being the catalyst. The love triangle works perfectly as jealousy, and then wonder and love come together but then there is still the problem of their positions in life to work through.
I loved the way this story was written, none of the characters have it easy as Sorran, Tanish and Feyar all try to work through their feelings. For both Tanish and Feyar it is the wedge that is being driven between them as Feyar is forced to train Sorran and Tanish is forced to wed Sorran, for Sorran it’s the realisation that Feyar and Tanish love each other. The world we find ourselves in is amazing with its details; it comes alive around us as we delve further into the book. We are drawn in by the forbidden love and marriage alliance but we stay hooked by the developing feelings and slight mystery of Sorran’s gifts. This story was a joy to read… and not just because of the hot sex!
I recommend this to those who love fantasy, wonderful characters, three hot men sexing each other up, breaking the normal standards and opening the world to acceptance and an unbreakable love.
