The Broken Elf King by Leia Stone

The Broken Elf King by Leia Stone

He's a haunted fae king. She's the empath who could heal a kingdom--or lose her heart. Their marriage is a lie... but the danger is real.

Nineteen-year-old Kailani is out of options. To save her beloved aunt, she makes a desperate bargain that draws her into the glittering, perilous world of Avalier's royal court. Her new task? Find a bride for Raife, the brooding Elf King, whose past is as shadowed as his throne.

But every suitor fails to break through his walls. And as Kailani and Raife's chemistry simmers, a daring new plan takes shape: a fake marriage to unite the kingdom and fund the war against the queen who destroyed his family. Pretending to be his queen puts Kailani in more danger--and closer to heartbreak--than she ever imagined.

With war threatening, secrets about her empathic powers surfacing, and a forbidden connection to the king growing stronger every day, Kailani must choose between protecting her heart and fighting for the only future that feels real.

Fast paced and full of resilience and sacrifice, this YA romantasy from USA Today bestselling author Leia Stone is perfect for fans of slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers stories.
