Spice: 2/5

More romantic adventure and slow-burn tenderness than explicit heat (based on tone).

The vibe

Learned Edmund is a disillusioned scholar on yet another tedious holy errand—transporting a precious relic from one stuffy temple to another. Another great adventure for the ages… allegedly.

Then bandits attack, and Edmund breaks the cardinal rule: in desperation, he grabs the relic—an ancient sword. Instead of a rusty weapon, he summons a ruggedly handsome man armed with daggers of blue steel, who makes quick work of the thieves.

The man is the Dervish: an immortal warrior trapped for centuries inside enchanted steel, furious about the curse and determined to hate Edmund like he’s hated every wielder before him. The problem is, Edmund is infuriating in an entirely different way—sweet, clever, and genuinely kind.

Now the Dervish can protect Edmund from bandits, cultists, dragons, and strange inhuman diplomats… but protecting his own heart might be the hardest battle of all.
