He was a cursed king. She was half human. And now they are bound by magic. Callista will do anything to save her brother, even if it means binding herself to a beast. But the beast has more secrets than she ever expected. As she learns the truth behind her mother's disappearance, the dangers in the elven palace, and the curse behind the beast, her ability to survive is threatened more every week. Aedan knows he is a beast, but he can't let that knowledge stop him from protecting his people and administering justice in the kingdom. Binding himself to the half-human had been a risky choice, but it was better than the alternatives. When he discovers who she really is, he is torn between the danger she represents and a growing attraction. How will he discover the truth behind his parents' deaths and protect the woman he brought into his castle? How will she process her past, protect her brother, balance new experiences, and stay alive long enough to help the beast with his curse? Discover new people and power, magic creatures (is it a dragon or a drekkan?), family, and more as you journey deeper into the lands of Elves & Legends than ever before! Callista and the Elf is an exciting fantasy fairytale inspired by a thoroughly reimagined Beauty and the Beast with sweet romance, magic, royalty, mysteries, enemies (ish) to lovers, and more! Watch out for heart-pounding suspense and toe-curling, kisses-only romance! The slow-burn, no-spice romance is perfect for readers who like books by authors like K.M. Shea and Tara Grayce. Page-turning emotions, vengeful villains, best friends, found family, magic bonds, redemption, forgiveness, healing, and heart-fluttering romance weave together in this brand new fairy tale for adult and young adult audiences! This is a standalone fantasy fairy tale with a Happily Ever After ending. It is a little heavier than other books in the series and includes a content warning at the beginning. The Elves & Legends series is best read in order because this book has spoilers for all the books before it, but this book can be enjoyed by itself with no prior reading.
