The Scottish Boy
The Scottish Boy | Alex De Campi
7 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
1333. Edward III is at war with Scotland. Nineteen-year-old Sir Harry de Lyon yearns to prove himself, and jumps at the chance when a powerful English baron, William Montagu, invites him on a secret mission with a dozen elite knights. They ride north, to a crumbling Scottish keep, capturing the feral, half-starved boy within and putting the other inhabitants to the sword. But nobody knows why the flower of English knighthood snuck over the border to capture a savage, dirty teenage boy. Montagu gives the boy to Harry as his squire, with only two rules: don't let him escape, and convert him to the English cause. At first, it's hopeless. The Scottish boy is surly and violent, and eats anything that isn't nailed down. Then Harry begins to notice things: that, as well as Gaelic, the boy speaks flawless French, with an accent much different from Harry's Norman one. That he can read Latin too. And when Harry finally convinces the boy Iain mac Mal Coluim to cut his filthy curtain of hair, the face revealed is the most beautiful thing Harry has ever seen. With Iain as his squire, Harry wins tournament after tournament and becomes a favourite of the King. But underneath the pageantry smoulder twin secrets: Harry and Iain's growing passion for each other, and Iain's mysterious heritage. As England hurtles towards war once again, these secrets will destroy everything Harry holds dear.

Looks like I picked it up last month I read 27 books, a mix of graphic novels, manga and audiobooks!

My fave manga right now is Frieren not gonna lie, it‘s so fun and I love the characters.

Magical Boy parts 1 and 2 was amazing graphic novel wise, I loved the story, the journey Max took through it!
I also loved The Scottish Boy - it was very spicy!
Spell Bound - I love all of Lukens works!

This cover is just stunning! This is gay historical fiction, set in England in 1333. Edward lll is fighting against Scotland. A bunch of knights on a secret mission capture the Scottish Boy. No one knows his significance. Harry is one of these knights and the Scottish Boy ends up staying at his home. He gets the name of Ian, Harry ends up feeling sorry for him and much more. It is rather brutal and graphic sex scenes too. I was totally gripped.
