Description

Luella lives in a quiet village near the border of the land of the humans and the realm of magic, where the townsfolk keep its heavy secret: The elves come for war or wives. Once every generation, the Elf King enters Luella's village to take a bride to be his Human Queen, fulfilling a centuries-old treaty that prevents the destruction of humanity itself. Luella never thought she’d be that woman. Independent, caring, and fiercely devoted to her people, she’s content in her quiet life as a humble herbalist. But when the Elf King arrives—icy, proud, and dangerously handsome—he claims her, and everything changes. Now, Luella finds herself in the Elf King's domain, Midscape: a land filled with wild magic and unexpected beauty. But Midscape is dying, and only Luella can save it. There's more to Luella than she ever imagined, and more to her fate than she dared dream. As the power of Midscape’s Human Queen stirs within her, so does an unexpected passion. The kingdom has found a way into her heart… as has its mysterious Elf King himself. Luella didn't choose to be the Human Queen. But will she choose to love her new kingdom—and her new husband?
