i'm desperately looking for a story that includes a romance involving a knight and a lady, but i really want something with solid world building and plot! not looking for poorly executed romantasy, despite looking for something that includes a ton of yearning. m/f and f/f are both welcome.
bonus points:
– slow burn.
– dark fantasy, dark medieval fiction, or even horror.
– grim and adult themes, nsfw.
– the knight is a dog of a (wo)man. devoted, obedient, the perfect soldier; desperate to serve.
– the lady in question doesn't have to be good. she could be a royal taking advantage of his loyalty, an evil queen, a witch, a spoiled princess, etc. not a must! but this flavor is also welcome.
