Once upon a time, the devil knocked up a delivery guy. Not your typical intro to a romance, but I promise, it is one. The devil in this scenario would be a sexy horned demon named Apollyon and the delivery guy would be me, Levi Curtis. Just an average guy who got in way over his head trying to keep his twin sister from selling her soul. See, in order to keep Lucifer from unleashing Hell's demonic wrath upon the earth, Apollyon needs a mortal vessel to contain the seed of his demonic army. It wasn't supposed to be a literal pregnancy, but my overactive imagination has always caused problems. Big problems, in this case. A whole Legion of 'em. I may low-key hate Apollyon, but we're gonna have to learn to tolerate each other in order to keep our little bundle of infernal joy safe and hopefully not destroy both our worlds in the process. But hey, on the plus side, you know what they say about guys with big horns. Lightbearer is an 82k fantasy mpreg romance with dark humor. This is a meta-narrative with intentional tense switching as the story jumps timelines.
Lightbearer is one of my favorite books by LC Davis. As I first found their work with Bro and the Beast, and based on the description of the book, I was expecting more fun, light hearted shenanigans. Maybe a little drama.... What I got completely blew me out of the water. It broke my heart. Crushed it into dust, and then melted that dust into glass to blow back into a new glass heart. When Levi and Apollyon get vaguely mentioned in a later book series (the Godbearer series) seemingly just as an Easter egg, I had to stop because my breath was taken away at being reminded of them.
I promise it has an HEA. But it is bittersweet. And it will break you.
