“ANNIVERSARY”

A QUEER MEDIEVALESQUE EROTICA by ELLE SHIVERS

After a painful separation from his lover, the weary ruler of an ambiguously peaceful empire reanimates the Holy Martyr Isadora, once imperial traitor, now patron saint of fulfillment in sacrifice. Overjoyed, the emperor takes him as his new lover.

Now alive again against his will, the Holy Martyr learns of his complicated reputation now that his life and death have been twisted into a shocking mythos over the centuries. He is simutaneously worshipped by the emperor and his loyalists almost fanatically, and despised by the townspeople for being the spiritual justification and symbol for their toiling. The depths of their rancor lead them to kill him again, and again, and again.
