King Elijah

loyalties really lie.
Janelle, a young Elven assassin, sets out on a dangerous mission given to her by the sorcerer she serves. She must kill King Elijah, or she and her brother will suffer a fate worse than death.
Though the king and the assassin loathe each other at first, they soon realize they have an enemy in common. One that could destroy everything they hold dear.
Hoping to save their world from the Newick coven's sinister plans, they journey to Myloria to save Janelle's brother and protect their home from the growing shadow that threatens all of magic.
Amidst their quest, Elijah and Janelle find their hatred for each other is not meant to last. An unexpected connection grows between the two, and a magical force brings them together, despite their struggle to deny it. Their destinies are bound by the gods.
Danger awaits around every corner-A ruthless coven leader, a monster that feeds on magic, and a treacherous journey through Whitestone Mountain.
Lives are at stake, and the fate of Zemira rests on their shoulders.

For readers who enjoy a slow-build enemies-to-lovers trope with a morally gray king with a fast-paced adventure and steamy scenes. Other tropes in book two are one bed, close proximity, and lots of banter.
