Sinopse: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A merchant’s daughter who yearns for adventure gets more than she bargained for when she falls for a broodingly handsome stranger in this saucy romantasy from the author of The Hurricane Wars. This gorgeous hardcover edition features beautiful designed endpapers and a reversible jacket with in-world fan art by Jester Lavorre. “A true delight of a book! Spicy and heartfelt—this one is a winner all around.”—Katee Robert, author of Neon Gods As the daughter of an ambitious merchant, Guinevere’s path has been predetermined: marry into a noble house of the Dwendalian Empire, raise her family’s station, and live quietly as a lordling’s obedient wife. But Guinevere longs for a life unbounded by expectations, for freedom and passion and adventure. Those distant dreams become a sudden reality when her caravan is beset by bandits, leaving her guards slain and Guinevere stranded alone on the dangerous Amber Road. Her only chance of survival is to travel alongside Oskar, the aloof half-orc who saved her during the attack. Unlike Guinevere, Oskar’s path is not so set in stone. With his mother dead and his apprenticeship abandoned, all that’s left is a long, lonely walk to a land he’s never seen to find family he’s never met. The last thing he needs is a spoiled waif like Guinevere slowing him down—even if the spark between them sizzles with promise. Despite his cold exterior, Oskar is brave and thoughtful and unlike anyone Guinevere has ever met. And while Guinevere may be sheltered, she brings out a softness in him that he has never dared to feel before. As the flames of their passion grow, they realize that soon they’ll need to choose between their expected destinations or their blossoming romance. Written by New York Times bestselling author Thea Guanzon at the behest of Critical Role’s Jester Lavorre, Tusk Love brings the most romantic story on Exandrian bookshelves to life.

Sobre a editora
A experiência de leitura dos livros da editora Random House Worlds transporta o leitor a universos ricos em aventura e fantasia, onde a ação é constante e os conflitos envolvem desde batalhas galácticas até jornadas em mundos imaginários. O catálogo revela uma forte presença de narrativas que exploram sagas espaciais, como as que envolvem Jedi, Sith e impérios interplanetários, mas também inclui histórias que se aprofundam em universos de jogos populares, como Minecraft, com enredos que misturam sobrevivência, amizade e exploração. O tom varia entre o épico e o divertido, com obras que vão do suspense e tensão de guerras interestelares até o humor leve de quadrinhos clássicos. As sinopses sugerem uma diversidade que abrange tanto narrativas mais narrativas e densas, quanto outras mais acessíveis e informativas, especialmente nos guias e livros oficiais de mundos virtuais.
