But this time, not one young woman of Capton has mended something with a thought, or made plants grow from barren earth, or had animals swear their allegiance to her.Ī Deal with the Elf King is narrated by main character Luella, the sole healer in the small town of Capton. Finding her was never hard she’s the only human with magic, after all. Since the treaty between the elves and humans was signed three millennia ago, there has been a Human Queen selected from Capton every hundred years like clockwork. Though I did have a lot of fun reading A Deal with the Elf King, I found that the romance was sadly lacking, the pacing of the book wasn’t the best, and that the plot wasn’t the most believable. I was certainly pleased by the concept of the story and by main character, Luella. Plus, I really enjoyed author Elise Kova’s The Alchemists of Loom. When I read that A Deal with the Elf King was a romantasy based on Hades and Persephone and Beauty and the Beast, I knew I had to read it as soon as possible. It's perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn and swoon-worthy couple. but what will truly break her is a passion she never wanted.Ī Deal with the Elf King is a complete, stand-alone novel, inspired by the tales of Hades and Persephone, as well as Beauty and the Beast, with a "happily ever after" ending.
