"A merchant’s sheltered but cheerful daughter, fighting to control a fire
spirit that lives inside her, and a grieving half-orc warrior, who, like many
an orc of his kind, has green skin and tusks, fall madly in love while he
escorts her to marry a prince in a far-off kingdom. During their journey, the
human and the half-orc have a lot of raunchy sex.
It sounds like a fever dream, but it’s actually the plot of “Tusk Love,” a
romance novel that landed on the
New York Times best-seller list last month.
How the book got there is as twisty as the novel’s central love affair — and
the latest, and perhaps most unusual, example of how internet-driven fandom can
intersect with publishing to create hit books.
It begins with what is by now a well-established fan base: players of the
tabletop game
Dungeons & Dragons."
