Tavia Lark The Necromancer's Light

He'll die without touch. As a necromancer, Shae loses a little more of himself every time he uses his magic. Always cold, always touch-starved, the only thing that helps is human contact. But that's difficult when his dark powers scare everyone away. Nobody likes a necromancer. Paladin Arthur is still bitter and broken after his last lover stabbed him in the back. When he agrees to escort the wandering necromancer north, he's just doing a public service. But prickly Shae is clingier than expected. Shae has never felt an aura as warm and safe as Arthur's. He craves the man's touch-and more. But everyone he's ever known has left him, and it's just a matter of time before Arthur leaves him too. Assuming the soul-stealing monsters don't kill them first. The Necromancer's Light is a gay fantasy romance, with a dangerous quest, hurt/comfort, and so many excuses for sharing a bed. This hardcover edition also includes the post-epilogue short story Midwinter Lights.
