Marian is supposed to un-alive the elf king. Robin is supposed to abduct her. Trusting each other would mean betraying their people. Trusting their people might be worse.Marian may look like a princess, but she is also a trained assassin who would prefer peace with the elves over war. Robin is a powerful elf pirate who enjoys looting the human king's ships... until a certain human makes him question everything he thought he knew. Is it too late to change the minds of kings and rulers? Will the elf and human kingdoms be able to avoid war? And what kind of betrayal will do the least damage? Marian and the Elf is a fast-paced, thoroughly re-imagined Robin Hood story with sweet romance, elves, magic, pirates, a princess assassin, and more! Sail the high seas, discover secret caves, and watch out for sword fights and knives! The heart-pounding, slow-burn, no-spice romance is perfect for readers who like books by authors like K.M. Shea and Tara Grayce. Action, suspense, high stakes, and fantasy romance weave together in this brand new fairy tale for adult and young adult audiences! This is a standalone fantasy fairytale with a Happily Ever After ending. The Elves and Legends series is best read in order because this book has spoilers for Ella and the Elf, but this book can be enjoyed by itself with no prior reading.
