"No Man's Land: Volume 1" by Sarah A. Hoyt
https://www.amazon.com/No-Mans-Land-Sarah-Hoyt/dp/1630110698/

Book number one of a three book space opera science fiction series in
the Chronicles of Lost Elly. I read the well printed and well bound POD (print on demand) trade paperback published by Goldport Press in 2025.
I have ordered the second book in the series and I will order the third
book when it becomes available.

Ok, this one is little strange but very good. Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus Kayel Hayden, Viscount Webson, Envoy of the Star Empire, a
retired Commodore in the Britannia Empire of Star System, becomes a
roving junior ambassador for the Queen Eleanor. One of many junior ambassadors, also known as Skip Hayden. While drafting a new trade
agreement with the newly found lost colony planet Draksall, Hayden is
attacked by several men with Terran blasters. In the ensuing melee,
Hayden is transported to another lost colony planet, Elly.

Elly is unlike any other lost colony planet found to date. There are no women, there are no men. All of the human beings are hermaphrodites.
And there is magic, lots and lots of magic. Not much technology, mostly swords and bows. Hayden ends up on the run with the young King of Elly
and a couple of his retainers.
