Synopsis

When she’s taken prisoner by the enemies of her people, her elven captor is the only person standing between her and death at the hands of his bloodthirsty kin... Novikke has no love for night elves. Her people and theirs have been at odds for centuries thanks to the elves’ penchant for violence and hatred of humans. So when she’s caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and taken captive by a night elf warrior, she has little hope for mercy, especially since they don’t even speak the same language. Trapped in his unforgiving homeland, a vast forest of shadows and magic, she’ll have to rely on her wits and her sword in order to survive. But she never expected her captor to be so devastatingly attractive. Or so polite. As Novikke begins to see him in a new light, she starts to question everything she thought she knew about his mysterious people… and she’s beginning to think that he feels the same troublesome attraction between them that she does. Now, as a deadly magic and the threat of war loom, they are forced to decide where their loyalties truly lie. With the fate of their nations in their hands, will they betray their own people to protect each other? Night Elves of Ardani is an enemies to lovers high fantasy romance for readers who love worldbuilding, action and adventure, spice, and HEAs. Books in the Elves of Ardani series each follow a different couple and can be read as standalones. This book comprises all three previously published parts of Night Elves of Ardani (Captive, Sacrifice, and Invocation). This book is intended for adults and contains steamy scenes and violence.
