Traded for peace. Sacrificed to a monster.
Maia Fremont just wanted a chance. When the opportunity to create floral arrangements for the royal wedding is offered to her, who is she to say no? But the crown is never honest, and soon enough, she finds herself thrust into an unwanted union with a fearsome troll. Ripped from her beloved garden and the only life she's ever known, she's offered as a bride to a creature she's only heard whispers of—rumors of brutality, darkness, and insatiable hunger.
Ragnar, a powerful troll healer, is disgusted by the human king's deception. His duty to his people forces him to accept this lie of a marriage. His bride is a fragile human instead of the strong half-elfen mate he expected. Her meager magic is an insult, but honor and allegiance bind him to her. No matter how much he hates it.
Married to a beast who sees her as nothing more than a tool to strengthen his bloodline, Maia must fight for her life in the treacherous world of the trolls. But in their kingdom deep within the mountain, she must balance her growing attraction for her gruff, surprisingly poetic husband against the lurking dangers in this strange new world—especially when the growing darkness threatens to tear them apart.

But I know it will be worth it because this book reads in a different way. No this book is not my favorite Emma book, mostly because I absolutely hate suspense, but as usual the female protagonist is a wonderful person that you cannot hate. The male protagonist is a wonderful person that you cannot hate and the villains are utterly detestable. This will be a great series, I hope. It has a beautiful and subtly unique plot. But Ms Hamm, why have you truncated the story of Maya and her Troll husband????? I kept waiting for the prophesy to begin to manifest... but nothing happened. I feel kind of cheated out of a happy ending. But obviously to me there is a lot in store to come and I ANGRILY await the second book.
Update: I listened to the story a second time and I felt like Ragnar's love was convenient. He needs Miya if he is to become great and his sex drive is just overheated and so hence the spice scenes. Which did not make me like him. I really like his brother Gonar. He sounds like the Ideal mate. I dont like ragnar too much anymore.
Not my favorite but still perfect
