The Forbidden Priest Wants to Capture the Sun Prince to Survive
Read the work
This work is a destined and moving Boys' Love story featuring two characters with opposing attributes: Prince Nadir, said to be a descendant of the Sun God, and Yusuf, a moon priest born as a forbidden being who absorbs defilement as "Nagara's vessel."
This work, "The Forbidden Priest Wants to Capture the Sun Prince to Survive (Volumes 1 & 2)," which was originally self-published by Mr. teo on the web, has been revised and compiled into a single volume for release by Lynx Romance Novel.
Synopsis
Yusuf, a moon priest, is a "forbidden" being possessing healing powers called "Nagara's vessel."
Unable to bear this power alone, he is destined to be swallowed by the defilement he absorbs and die young.
However, the only way to prolong his life was "to form a physical and spiritual connection with a royal family member descended from the Sun God."
Therefore, Yusuf successfully entered the royal palace from the temple while hiding his true identity.
Due to his androgynous appearance, he became an attendant to Prince Nadir, the first prince of the Sun God's royal family, who was famously fond of women.
Yusuf tries various approaches to get closer to the prince and form a bond,
but Nadir, seemingly aware or unaware, teases him with a relaxed attitude.
Amidst this, an engagement proposal emerges for Nadir with a princess from another country...?
Beyond the excitement unique to BL, where the slow burn of their relationship unfolds until they realize their love, the story also maintains a serious tension as Yusuf must not reveal that he is a moon priest and a forbidden being, making for a compelling story with varying pacing.
The author of this work, Mr. teo, received an "Encouragement Award" at the 38th Lynx Newcomer Award, a competition held in 2024 by Lynx magazine. Highly evaluated by the editorial department, this is now his first published work from Lynx Romance Novel.
And gracing this commemorative debut work from Lynx Romance Novel are the beautiful illustrations by manga artist and illustrator, Ito Nonomiya.
The cover is captivating, featuring Nadir, who, despite his beautiful and dignified appearance, dotes on Yusuf and shows mischievous expressions, juxtaposed with Yusuf, who is confused by Nadir's intentions and has an androgynous and charming look. The various insert illustrations accurately depicting their interactions within the text are also a must-see.
Special Offers Information
