The Barbarian King and The Prince by Atlas Jones

Prince Bellamy of Mirn has always been beloved by his people—kind, golden-haired, and gentle in a world that rewards cruelty. But when the Barbarian King Ivah brings his forces to the borders of Mirn, Bellamy must ride into a battle he knows he cannot win.

He expects to die on Ivah’s blade. He doesn’t expect the fierce king to hesitate—or for that single moment of mercy to change everything.

When Ivah is captured and chained in Bellamy’s dungeons, Bellamy tells himself he’s only visiting to understand his enemy. But late-night conversations become something far more dangerous, and Bellamy soon finds himself drawn to the man beneath the monster—the dry humor, the unexpected gentleness, the heat in Ivah’s gaze that makes Bellamy forget he’s supposed to be afraid.

Their stolen moments cannot last. Ivah escapes, war looms on multiple fronts, and Bellamy is forbidden from seeing the Barbarian King ever again. But when enemies from the North tear Bellamy from his home, Ivah will burn down kingdoms to get him back.

The Barbarian King and The Prince is an m/m enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance. It features size difference, age difference, enthusiastic consent and a captive/captor dynamic.
