Bow Before the Elf Queen

The Elf Queen, Book 1

In hiding all her life, Layala prepares for the day the wicked High Elf King Thane will come to steal her—his powerful mate. She trains to take her revenge for the wrongful execution of her parents, who died for her freedom.

Now that day has come, forcing her to come face-to-face with what she’s hidden from: a dangerous, dark-haired, warrior king determined to marry her.

After she’s shoved into a black carriage pulled by six ominous steeds, Layala makes plans to take her captors’ lives and free herself...

...but Thane has a secret that makes it impossible for Layala to slay him. She has an even darker truth that makes loving her forbidden, no matter how much Thane wants to touch.

Such a great love story fantasy

This was really awesome. It kept your attention and had such a great storyline. I would highly recommend it!

Must listen/read!

The story has just enough spice and adventure that the slow burn is worth every page turn.

A wonderful love story!!

It's a wonderful love story so many twists and turns!! I can not wait for more!!

The story line, characters, absolutely incredible.

I loved this book so much. I do wish for more spice tbh. Hopefully we get more in the next books but if not, I’ll still be finishing the series.

These books are incredible. I actually didn’t see the ending coming or expect what happened either. 10/10. Best book I’ve read in 2024 as of July.

Slow start and struggling narration

The story or premise is pretty good even though its repeats some of the same tellings of some of my other authors. So not a unique telling but an engaging after you get a couple hours in. I think it took me that long to win over the battle to return due to the not so good narration. I stuck in there and glad I did. Note: i did up the speed a few times as i was over the dragging.
