Royal librarian Mattin is one of the so-called fae-blessed, which means a few times a year he experiences a heat. A sticky, uncomfortable business Mattin does his best to forget, which is easy to do with how busy he is. Unfortunately, ignoring his heats is starting to affect his health. Even more unfortunately, the king and his husband have both noticed and resolved to help. Now, Mattin has to deal with his heats and the friendly—or is it only friendly—concern from the two heroes he's been crushing on forever, and hope he doesn't embarrass himself by admitting to everything he wants.
