The Gilded Prince of Agrabah: A Queer Retelling
£3.59
Aladin isn’t dreaming of a princess—he’s dreaming of him. Kaelen, the lethally handsome son of Agrabah’s Grand Vizier, is a fantasy out of reach for a penniless street thief. Desperate for a chance, Aladin uses a magic lamp to transform himself into the radiant Prince Ali and walks into the palace’s viper pit.
What begins as a dangerous deception becomes a passionate, forbidden romance. Kaelen, isolated and shrewd, finds in the mysterious prince a kindred spirit and a heat he cannot deny. But their love is a threat to the most powerful man in the kingdom. Hunted and exposed, they are forced to flee, trading gilded lies for the raw struggle of survival across deserts and stormy seas.
The Gilded Prince of Agrabah is a sweeping, 40-chapter LGBTQ+ retelling of a classic tale. It’s an epic adventure of magic, political intrigue, and survival, but at its core, it’s an intimate love story between two men learning to shed their disguises and build something real. Follow Aladin and Kaelen from the opulent halls of a palace to the edge of the world, as they discover that the most powerful magic isn’t in a wish, but in choosing each other, again and again.
In the sun-scorched, opulent city of Agrabah, Aladin is more than a street rat—he’s a survivor. At twenty-three, he is tall, strikingly handsome, and clever enough to steal a loaf of bread from under a merchant’s nose. But his most carefully guarded secret is his heart, which yearns not for a princess in a tower, but for a man whose gaze alone sets his soul aflame: Kaelen, the devastatingly beautiful, coldly calculating son of the tyrannical Grand Vizier, Jafar.
Their worlds are galaxies apart until a fateful glance in the marketplace sparks an obsession. To bridge the impossible gap, Aladin risks everything on a magical artifact and three wishes. His first wish transforms him into the dazzling, wealthy Prince Ali of a distant kingdom. As Prince Ali, he walks into the lion’s den of the palace, seeking an alliance and a chance to win the heart of the man he desires.
But Kaelen is no easy prize. Sharp, lonely, and trapped in a gilded cage of his father’s making, he is both intrigued and suspicious of the mysterious foreign prince. What begins as a dangerous game of political intrigue and seduction ignites into a forbidden, passionate romance, built on stolen moments in moonlit gardens and a connection that feels more real than any magic.
Their love becomes a threat to Jafar’s iron grip on power. Exposed and hunted, Aladin and Kaelen are forced to flee Agrabah, trading a palace of lies for the brutal freedom of the desert and the treacherous sea. Their journey is a crucible—testing their trust, their resilience, and the fragile love born from deception. From the mystical Cave of Wonders to the bustling, anonymous ports across the sea, they must learn to survive not as a prince and a pauper, but as equals: two men stripped bare of titles, with only their wits, their skills, and their unwavering bond to protect them.
The Gilded Prince of Agrabah is a sweeping 40-chapter romance that reimagines a classic tale with a bold, gay love story at its heart. It is an epic adventure filled with magic, danger, and political intrigue, but also an intimate exploration of identity, honesty, and the transformative power of love. Follow Aladin and Kaelen as they navigate a world of glittering deception and harsh reality, fighting not just for their lives, but for the right to build an honest future together—a future where the greatest treasure isn’t a magic lamp, but the freedom to love who you choose.
This is a story for those who crave fantasy romance with depth, heat, and heart. It’s a tale of a thief who became a prince, a vizier’s son who became a fugitive, and the love that made them both truly free.

Title: An Epic Adventure with Incredible Heart
I was promised a gay romance adventure, and this delivered that and so much more. The Gilded Prince of Agrabah is an epic in every sense. The scope is huge, taking us from bustling markets to mystical caves, from palace intrigue to harrowing escapes across deserts and oceans. Through it all, the unwavering focus is on Aladin and Kaelen. Their love story is the engine of the plot, and it’s incredibly compelling. I loved seeing them as equals on the run, using their unique skills—Aladin’s street-smart ingenuity and Kaelen’s strategic mind—to survive. It’s a powerful message about love being a partnership. The supporting characters, like the Genie (who is hilarious and wonderful) and the weaver Elara, are fantastic. The writing is beautiful, effortlessly painting scenes of opulent beauty and stark survival. It made me laugh, gasp, and definitely shed a tear or two. It’s a complete, satisfying journey from the first page to the perfect, hopeful ending. This isn’t just a great LGBTQ+ fantasy; it’s a great fantasy, period. Highly, highly recommended.

Title: A Masterclass in Slow-Burn, Forbidden Romance
Where do I even begin? This book ruined me in the best possible way. The slow-burn tension between Aladin (as Prince Ali) and Kaelen is absolutely masterful. Every shared glance, every veiled conversation in the palace, every moment of understanding between them crackled with electricity. The author perfectly balances high-stakes fantasy—Jafar is a truly terrifying villain—with the intimate, character-driven drama of a love that could get them both killed. The world-building is lush and immersive, making Agrabah and the lands beyond feel alive. But the true magic is in the characters. Their flaws, their fears, their growth felt incredibly real. When they finally confess their love, it’s not an end, but a beginning of an even more gripping journey of survival and partnership. The intimate scenes are beautifully written—passionate, tender, and always in service of the characters’ emotional arc. This is a perfect book for anyone who loves epic fantasy, complex characters, and a romance that feels truly earned and devastatingly romantic.

Title: More Than Just a Retelling—It’s a Revelation
I’ve read countless retellings, but The Gilded Prince of Agrabah stands in a league of its own. This isn’t just Aladdin with a pronouns swap; it’s a rich, completely reimagined world where the core story is driven by a deep, character-focused gay romance. Aladin and Kaelen are exquisitely drawn. Aladin’s journey from a street-smart survivor to a man learning to love his true self is powerful. Kaelen’s transformation from a cold, isolated weapon of his father into a vulnerable, passionate partner is breathtaking. The chemistry is off-the-charts—smoldering glances in the palace, stolen kisses that feel earned, and an intimacy that is both sensual and deeply emotional. The adventure is pulse-pounding, from the Cave of Wonders to stormy seas, but the heart of the book is the relationship. It’s a story about two broken men finding wholeness in each other, and choosing to build an honest life against all odds. A magnificent, sweeping romance that I couldn’t put down and will absolutely read again.
