Today we’re sounding the klaxon for a Kickstarter project worthy of your attention: The Fall of the House of Valenziaga: A Special Edition Novel!
The Fall of the House of Valenziaga by Trip Galey is a high-stakes, science-fantasy family epic with lushly imagined settings, strange magics, impossible sciences and queer characters who are both smart AND sexy! It’s being described as a Science-Fantasy EXTRAVAGANZA! Think Drag Race meets a gay Game of Thrones meets Chronicles of Amber. High drama and high CAMP!
Trip Galey is no stranger to awesome fantasy and is the second half of Bona Books, a queer SFF small press that debuted with award nominated I Want That Twink OBLITERATED!
Here’s more about The Fall of the House of Valenziaga:
Not all mothers love their children; not all rulers deserve their crown.
Virtus is the handsome, golden-tongued heir to House Valenziaga. He has wealth, influence, a unique magical gift, as many men as he could want…and his life is a living hell. His mother, the ageless Vainglory Valenziaga, is a world-breaking tyrant and she holds Virtus’ very existence firmly in a razor-manicured fist.
When an unexpected confrontation reveals to him just how cruel and monstrous she truly is, Virtus will do anything to escape her control and flee the Legendary House that has been his home and family for over twenty years.
But escape is something far easier said than done. Brutal magic, societal expectation, and his missing heart all bind him tightly in place. Virtus cannot simply walk away.
If Virtus can’t break these ties, evade the machinations of his ambitious adopted sister, and extract himself from the endless rivalries that consume the Legendary Houses, he’ll be trapped in this nightmare forever—and even if he can, will House Valenziaga survive the betrayals it will take to secure his freedom?
This Kickstarter campaign is to raise funds for the book, including a hardcover version.
