The fact that he's also been sleeping with the man for the last ten years is irrelevant. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen they were both nine years old, Lyford smashed Tam's entry for the village's vegetable competition. Nearly twenty years later, Tam hasn't forgiven him. Now Tam has reconciled himself to the fact that love and affection are for other people, that the gods won't answer any of his prayers (not even the one about afflicting Lyford with a case of flesh-eating spiders to chew off his privates) and that life is inherently mundane, joyless and drab. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd then, the very last straw: Tam discovers that Lyford (of all people!) bears the divine favour of Angarat, the goddess Tam feels most betrayed and abandoned by. In his hurt and anger, Tam packs up and prepares to leave the village for good. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTam soon finds himself set on a quest for the most difficult of all possible prizes: self-care, forgiveness, a second chance. . . and somehow the unbelievably precious knowledge that there is at least one person who loves Tam for exactly who he is, and always has. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the author of \u003ci\u003eA Taste of Gold and Iron\u003c\/i\u003e, Alexandra Rowland, \u003ci\u003eYield Under Great Persuasion\u003c\/i\u003e is a cosy, queer fantasy romance - perfect for fans of Freya Marske.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Macmillan Publishers (MPS)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.06oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.12w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781035087556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlexandra Rowland is the author of \u003ci\u003eA Taste of Gold and Iron\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRunning Close to the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Conspiracy of Truths\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Choir of Lies \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSome by Virtue Fall\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as a Hugo Award-nominated podcaster (all sternly supervised by their feline quality control manager).
