The Broken Elf King
I never should have taken that loan, but my aunt needed meds I couldn't afford. Now I've been sold into slavery, and the Nightfall Queen's guards have discovered I'm not entirely human.
Instead of killing me, the Elf King himself buys me, and I'm to be his personal assistant. It will take five years to pay off the debt, but I get to work closely with him.
His council demands he find a wife to fund his war against the Nightfall Queen, but he rejects every high-born female I send his way. As we spend more time together, we realize I'm not just some half-elf.
There's a deep power within me, making me a target... or his solution? We enter into a fake marriage to get the council off his back and for my protection. It's a great idea, as long as I don't fall in love with him. Should be simple enough...
The Broken Elf King is book two of four in the Kings of Avalier series, a standalone fantasy romance about the Elf King Raife Lightstone.
