People travel to the Enduar Mountains for one of two reasons: death or diamonds.
Estela isn't supposed to find love. As a slave to the Giant King, Estela's life is an endless torment. Her sole hope is to escape with her half-brother and find refuge among the elves.
Teo, the Troll King, is desperate. His people are dying, and he's running out of options. When the giants come for diamonds, Teo's crystal sings.
The slave is the king's mate, and with her comes a solution to save his people. Even after the king steals her from her masters, Estela's one desire is to flee. She doesn't see herself as the savior of the Enduar Trolls. She would rather die than be their queen and, by extension, his mate.
Any amount of time with him is dangerous. His stolen glances and longing stares won't make her forget the truth—if she stays, she'll still be caged.
To Steal a Bride is the first book in Estela and Teo's duet, but it is part of a larger series called Entangled with the Enduar. It is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance featuring a desperate heroine and a powerful hero. This adult fantasy romance is perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Danielle L. Jensen. Intended for mature listeners.
