Two heroes. One brain cell.

BROMANTASY is a cozy, queer fantasy about the mortifying ordeal of being known by your totally platonic best friend and the epic quest that might force you to confront the truth.

This deluxe limited first run edition will feature beautifully designed colored edges—while supplies last!

Fellas, is it gay to kiss your bff while on a quest through the forest you’re unqualified for?

Juniper O’Reilly is good at only two things: demolishing a pint of mead and finding the perfect skincare routine. Everything else—taking care of the farm, bartering for goods, any sort of manual labor—falls to Juniper’s best friend, the absurdly capable, endlessly patient Mo Elmthorn.

But when Juniper accidentally volunteers them both for a quest to kill a fearsome monster, he knows he’s finally gotten in over his head. Juniper hates camping, he hates the dark, and there’s no way all these foraged mushrooms are going to sit well in his stomach. One thing he doesn’t hate? How good Mo’s thighs look in his questing pants—he doesn’t have time to think about that, though, with a monster to hunt and their futures on the line.

But monsters come in all shapes and sizes. When Juniper and Mo realize that the terrifying beast they’ve sworn to kill is just a scared little girl torn from her family, they’re off to find not only the true villain of the story, but maybe even a happy ending.

“‘Two heroes. One brain cell.’ Are you kidding me?? Not since ‘lesbian necromancers in space’ has a cover quote gone so hard. That’s a 3 Michelin star chef’s kiss level blurb right there. And the text itself lives up to it—a cozy, silly, adventure-packed fantasy, Bromantasy is the perfect antidote to everything terrible in the world right now…How these two idiots manage to stay alive is a dang miracle, and an absolute laugh riot the whole way. Máire Roche’s queer romantasy is cheeky, clever, and cute as hell.” —Reactor

“Roche’s delightful queer cozy fantasy is full of heart, humor, buried feelings, and found family. Hand to fans of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree.” —Library Journal (starred)

“A silly, entertaining, and fast-paced romp, this is a sharp send-up of fantasy tropes wrapped in a sweet queer love story with a heavy dose of millennial meme culture. A perfect read-alike for those who enjoyed Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne’s Kill the Farm Boy or Hannah Nicole Maehrer’s Assistant to the Villain.” —Booklist

“Two platonic himbos fall in love while questing in this cozy queer romantasy.” —Book Riot

“A mishap-fueled quest threatens to break two best bros apart in this unabashedly silly friends-to-lovers medievalesque…the cozy trappings and abundant humor will please those looking for lighthearted queer romantasy.” —Publishers Weekly

“This queer romantasy book promises to be the hilarious, cozy friends-to-lover story of our dreams.” —Marie Claire

“A cozy, queer fantasy novel that follows two best friends who go on a quest that forces them to confront their feelings for each other. This one promises to be full of action/adventure, comedy, and love.” — Queerty

Praise for the author
