Royal intrigue meets queer romance and ethics.
"Climbing the Date Palm" isn't just a romantic tapestry woven with threads of social justice and adventure; it also presents a LGBTQ+ friendly narrative that's still rare in royal fantasy settings. As you follow Shulamit and Kaveh's pursuit of fairness and love against the backdrop of political machinations, you might find yourself rooting not just for the characters but for the larger message of equality and the right to love freely. If you believe in fighting for what's right, while enjoying a dash of fantasy, this could be a powerful and affirming read for you.

Description
Prince Kaveh, the youngest son of the king of the City of Red Clay, is bisexual and completely besotted with Farzin, the engineer his father hired to oversee the improvements to the city's roads and bridges. However, the king doesn't share his positive feelings. After Farzin ends up at the head of the protest that ensues when the workers are only paid a third of their promised wages, he's thrown in prison and is scheduled to be executed. Queen Shulamit, who rules over the neighboring nation of Perach, is eager to assist the desperate prince. She, too, loves justice and has a same-sex partner. She's also hoping Kaveh, with his royal blood, is willing to give her and her sweetheart a legitimate heir in exchange. But can she find a peaceful solution that will pacify the king next door, get his workers fairly paid, and free Farzin? Or will she and her dragon-riding bodyguard Rivka have to go to war?
