The Demon of Beausoleil

"A humorous yet poignant queer romance in a fantasy-period setting. Just the thing for grown-up fans of Alice Oseman's Heartstopper, Kevin Panetta's Bloom, or Jarrett Melendez's Chef's Kiss who are intrigued by the occult." --Library Journal, starred review

A half-demon socialite-turned-exorcist and his disgruntled bodyguard have no trouble facing down the hordes of darkness--but facing their feelings for each other? Well now, that's a whole different story . . .

Helianthes is a Cambion--a child born touched by demons. Horned, clawed, and tailed, Helianthes--Hell for short--is a devil-may-care exorcist whose devil-may-care attitude has succeeded in alienating those closest to him--all save for his long-suffering bodyguard, Elias, who sees him as less a strange, mythical being and more just a . . . nuisance.

Together, the two venture into the streets of this psuedo-remix of Victorian London to exorcise demons (and maybe cause a little mischief on the way). But as Hell becomes increasingly drawn to his enigmatic bodyguard--and as Elias becomes increasingly aware of his feelings for his trouble of a charge--the two find themselves faced with a growing, chaotic dark that might threaten everything they've been working toward . . .

A world of half-demons and the boys who love them await in this epic queer romance by writer/artist Mari Costa!
