An elf and a mortal. He took her name, but she stole his heart. [𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐂𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐑]
Elysse, the realm of the elves, is kept safe by a powerful enchantment. Every forty years it must be renewed through a cruel sacrifice. Andor, a young and dutiful elf, is chosen for this task and eager to prove his worth. With a kiss, he lures the young human Rose into a cleverly laid trap that will claim her life.
But Andor's initial euphoria about his deed wears off all too soon, leaving him with the bitter aftertaste of regret. When it is revealed that Rose possessed a mysterious book holding the key to Elysse's future, he strikes a dangerous bargain.
To undo what he did, he allows himself to be drawn into a tricky game of power until a terrible notion dawns on him. Saving the one whose life he took, might claim his own life in return.
