About this book
When the Elf King arrives at Luella's village to claim her as his bride, the healer's safe, predictable life shatters—she's been chosen as the new Human Queen to a kingdom she never knew existed. Whisked away to a magical realm that's dying from the inside out, Luella discovers she holds the key to saving Midscape, even as she's torn between loyalty to her home and an undeniable connection to the impossibly cold yet devastatingly handsome king who claimed her. What unfolds is a slow-burn romance that challenges everything she believed about duty, sacrifice, and the dangerous power of love. If you're craving that swoon-worthy Hades-and-Persephone energy with fierce heroine energy and a king worth the emotional journey, this is your next obsession.

Think haunting vocals, magical tension, slow-burn desire. Artists like Hozier, Florence + The Machine, Bon Iver, and Evanescence capture this world of fae magic and reluctant passion.”
