A Chosen Man: A Reverse Barbarian Fantasy Romance by Paul Willson

"You're mine. You're my Chosen."Magret, a raiding mountain barbarian woman from a savage tribe called the Eira’a, tells her enemy, the ‘Red Cloak’ Theo of Kilburg, as he waits for his death blow to send him into eternity. She then takes him back to the mountains, not as her slave but as her Chosen, her life mate.

Theo finds himself thrown into a matriarchal world, where only women are allowed to rule, which is vastly different to the patriarchal world in which he grew up and was discarded from.

For Margret, making Theo her ‘Chosen’ is an important part of her life. Yet, to Magret's hurt and frustration, Theo appears unhappy that she has made him her 'Chosen'. Rarely smiling in their Ystrom, the Eira’a marriage ritual, where Eira’a men should be joyful.

But the Ystrom can only be complete when Theo freely gives himself to Magret. However, he appears reluctant to do so. Why is he, when she is following the Ystrom as taught by Esteri and doing everything to make him understand?

Will Theo ever give himself to Magret? Will Magret discover why Theo is so unhappy?

A Chosen Man is a reverse-role barbarian fantasy romance.
