The Mist Thief

She tried to kill him, so he made her his wife.

Skadi first met her husband-to-be with blades in hand on the opposite side of a battle. She lost, and he claimed his prize.

To her horror, the king of the shadow elves agrees to marry her off to Jonas, a fae prince, as a way to unite their kingdoms against a shared enemy ― the light elves. Skadi knows the marriage is nothing but a political game. Feelings won’t come into play.

Except her new husband makes not falling in love...challenging.
