Wyst is "touched" by the goddess who protects his village, and having contact with the goddess is a taint punishable with exile. Wyst is forced to leave the Village and he goes to the City, but he is perplexed, in the City everyone wants something, everything has a price, and Wyst is not used to this. Lucky him he meets Gamomal, a gentle man who like him, for different reasons, is a banished among his people.
The story is very strange, and I don't know if you can define it a romance; there is not actually a love at first sight between Wyst and Gamomal, also since Wyst is not used to consider sex a way to express love; sex is a common practice, something Wyst is used to share without problem during the ceremonial Galas in his Village. And so he slowly realize that he loves Gamomal not since he enjoys sex with the man, but when he realizes that he can't no more bestow his favors indistinctly to men and women alike.
Gamomal is a difficult character to understand, he doesn't speak much. He is for sure gentle and he cares for Wyst; he is very proud and generous, what he has he shares freely. He is not a particular clever man, but he knows that: he was the son of a troubadour, but he had not the skills to continue his father's profession, but still he is probably more cultured than the people he is forced to live with.
The nice and original parallelism between the fantasy world in the story and the real world, is that in this fantasy world the virus is spread through breath and cured through blood, and so Wyst and Gamomal's lovemaking is not a death risk, but the reason why Gamomal is safe from the virus.
