A Marriage of Insects: a novel of the World Tree - Paperback

by Bard Bloom (Author)

"MARRIED'S A JOB FOR EVERYBODY. LOVE'S THE LUXURY." The last time Rajel had seen the her husband and mari was nearly three decades ago, when they were married as young children to secure their titles and their mutual future. An adventurer doesn't have much time to think about family, or love, but when a close call puts things in perspective, Rajel calls her spouses to her to begin their married life. Boragette's grown up as a sweet cosi who only wants to do the things a co-lover should: cook, sew, and please everyone. Casamint's become an arrogant scholar-bug with no respect for the rustic life, nor for brawny women wielding three-handed swords. And Rajel's a hard-bitten adventurer, more comfortable with her wild Sleeth companion than with her spouses or country home. They don't get along terribly well, even though they want to and need to. So, when an enchanter offers Rajel a nice safe job as a bodyguard in his aeronautical mansion for a few months, Boragette and Casamint come along too. Though with a beautiful agent provocateur on board and a village full of monsters outside, it's not quite the simple romantic idyll they were hoping for.
