"In her debut fantasy novel, McPherson delivers a thrilling and emotional story with remarkable worldbuilding. Readers will instantly connect with the genuinely kind but snarky Beau, as he remains true to himself and his morals, and loyal to the people he cares about. Elias and Lady Penamour are also intriguing and well-developed characters. The romantic buildup between Beau and Elias, and between Beau and Lady Penamour, is engaging and ultimately satisfying. The novel also offers strikingly sensitive and authentic representations of queer and trans characters, as well as polyamory. Family strife, intense battle scenes, and magic add interest to the palace intrigue. ​A compelling tale with well-drawn characters and beautifully executed LGBTQ+ romance."

"Tantalizing and dripping with tension—a slow-burn romantasy that explodes when things get hot. If you're able to withstand the tantalizing tension, the dripping ache and yearning for touch, you're going to absolutely devour the second half of this book. The slow-burn explodes into a fiery pace, glowing with powerful magic and blushing with orgasmic detail. If you like your romantasy spicy...you can't miss A King's Trust. Coast through the slow set-up—a tease—because it's building, it's coming. I promise. ​Both Elias and Lady Penamour are superior love interests and characters. McPherson has done a spectacular job with these characters—about as complex and likable as they come. A King's Trust is exactly the type of slow-burn romance you were hoping for."
