The Mist Thief
L.J. Andrews
The Ever Seas #3
She tried to kill him — then was forced to marry him. Falling in love was never part of the plan.
Description
She tried to kill him, so he made her his wife.Skadi first met her husband-to-be with blades in hand on the opposite side of a battle. She lost, and he claimed his prize.To her horror, the king of the shadow elven agrees to marry her off to Jonas, a prince in the fae realms, as a way to unite their kingdoms against a shared enemy—the light elves. Skadi knows the marriage is nothing but a political game. Feelings won’t come into play.Except her new husband makes not falling in love . . . challenging.When new threats arise, Skadi must decide to either love her enemy, or keep him alive by betraying him to another.Welcome to another installment in the Ever Seas world where pirates, fae, and elves collide with Vikings in a dark fantasy romance between a morally gray cinnamon roll and the broken princess who steals his heart.*This book is a standalone with a guaranteed HEA, and can be read before The Ever King/Queen, but to see the full impact of their story, it’s recommended to read that duet first. This series is set in the same world as the bestselling Broken Kingdoms series, but can be read independently, and readers are encouraged to read the list of triggers inside.*
