"Elves come for two reasons: For war and to find a wife. And in both cases, they bring death with them."
Three thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races possessing wild magic, until a pact was made; now, and for centuries, the elves take a young woman from Luella's village to make her their Human Queen.
Being "the chosen one" is interpreted as a death sentence by the villagers. A mark that Luella, nineteen, is grateful to have escaped in her childhood. Instead, she has dedicated her life to studying herbalism with the goal of becoming the village's only healer. Until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives... to find her.
Everything Luella thought she knew about her life and herself was, in reality, a lie. Taken to a land overflowing with wild magic, she is forced to be the new queen of a cold but tremendously attractive Elf King. Once there, she learns about a dying world that only she can save.
The magical land of Midscape pulls at one part of her heart, her home and her people pull at another... but what can truly destroy her is a passion she never wanted.
