A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova

adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced

“The elves come for two things: war and wives. In both cases, they come for death.”

Elise Kova writes great, steamy Fantasy Romances! A Deal with the Elf King is about Luella, a healer who is dedicated to her town, but finds out that she is the Chosen Bride of the Elf King. She's got powerful life magic in her veins that she didn't know about, so in order to fulfil the treaty with the elves, she has no choice but to go to their homeland. Eldas, the handsome Elf King is dark and brooding, but Luella isn't about to submit so easily. I liked her determination and love for healing others, even when things are difficult! Meanwhile, Eldas seems like a cold-hearted, merciless king, but there is more to him than meets the eye. I liked their slowburn romance, this was a great Hades and Persephone retelling!
