Blurb

It is twenty years since the Bond of Three returned to Teruna. The kingdom of Kandor, once Teruna's enemy, seeks help and sends its finest warrior, Dainon, on a diplomatic mission. A solitary man since his wife and child died, Dainon is unable to explain why an encounter with a young man on a beach rocks his world to its core.

Prince Arrio of Teruna has always been attracted to men but has never acted on it-until he meets Dainon. Headstrong Arrio goes after what he wants, despite his fathers' advice. But when Prince Kei arrives unexpectedly, Arrio finds himself drawn to both men. Is history repeating itself?

Prince Kei has his first taste of freedom, and is shocked when the visions that have plagued him since childhood become reality. The three men embark on a voyage of discovery. No one has foreseen the day, however, when the arrival of a stranger threatens to destroy their bond.


Carra's Review


After reading the first book of this series, A Bond of Three, I was wondering how the author would make another threesome work in the same world without it feeling unoriginal.  I needn’t have worried, as A Bond of Truth was just as wonderfully spun a story as its predecessor.  Dainon, Arrio and Kei belong together just as much as Feyar, Tanish and Sorran.  It is how they get to that point that is different, and takes the reader on a unique journey to get there-with a bit of guidance from those that came before.

I like the fact that Dainon is quite a bit older than Arrio and Kei, it introduces an element of tension-though mostly on Dainon’s part as he is the one who has difficulty reconciling the age disparity.  And I love Kei’s ability to interact and communicate with animals-it made him all the more sweet and innocent to me to have this ability to connect.  Arrio and Kei seem to be able to come together so easily, and they are determined to show Dainon that he belongs with them both.  One other thing I loved about this book?  Having Feyar, Tanish and Sorran there playing a significant part.  They contributed quite a bit, and were a wonderful support for Arrio, Kei and Dainon every step of the way.

As with the first book of the series, this one also pulled me in with the development of the relationship between the three men.  The drama that comes up much later in the story from the “stranger” mentioned in the synopsis does play its part, but for me that part was not as significant as the bulk of the story where the men work through their feelings, and Dainon has to come to terms with a relationship he would never have imagined for himself.  It quickly becomes apparent that communication between the three is essential to making things work, and I truly enjoyed seeing them discover how to make their relationship work.


A Bond of Truth was another 4.5-star read for me, and again those gay fantasy romance readers who are fans of M/M/M will find that KC Wells has done an excellent job of bringing three men together in a grouping that may have bumps along the way-but eventually will work out to a very satisfying conclusion.  This story is only for readers 18+ for adult language and explicit M/M/M sexual content.  While I suppose this could be read on its own, I would strongly recommend reading the books of this series in order as the main characters in A Bond of Three do play a crucial part in this story.  You will enjoy A Bond of Truth more if you read Feyar, Tanish and Sorran’s story first.




Author Bio



Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C. WELLS always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way. K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, when the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings—writing about men in love was even hotter….

K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career. The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

And as for those men in love that she writes about? The list of stories just waiting to be written is getting longer… and longer…. 

K.C. loves to hear from readers.
