LGBTQIA+
In LGBTQIA+ fantasy, magic, identity, and diverse representation come together to tell powerful stories. This subgenre reimagines traditional fantasy tropes through inclusive and affirming lenses where queerness isn’t a subplot or an afterthought, but woven into the very heart of the tales the author is telling.
It includes characters across the spectrum of sexual orientations and gender identities that expand the emotional depth and narrative possibilities of fantasy, offering space for queer joy, love, struggle, and triumph. It invites us to imagine new worlds where everyone belongs and where every kind of love and identity can be heroic and celebrated.
The Night and Its Moon

More Info:
"Farleigh is just an orphanage. At least, that’s what the church would have the people believe, but beautiful orphans Nox and fae-touched Amaris know better. They are commodities for sale, available for purchase by the highest bidder. So when the madame of a notorious brothel in a far-off city offers a king’s ransom to purchase Amaris, Nox ends up taking her place — while Amaris is drawn away to the mountains, home of mysterious assassins.
Even as they take up new lives and identities, Nox and Amaris never forget one thing: they will stop at nothing to reunite. But the threat of war looms overhead, and the two are inevitably swept into a conflict between human and fae, magic and mundane. With strange new alliances, untested powers, and a bond that neither time nor distance could possibly break, the fate of the realms lies in the hands of two orphans — and the love they hold for one another."
