The enthralling and romantic sequel to J.M. Kearl's enchanting Bow Before the Elf Queen. Layala fought against falling in love with him. Thane battled to win his mate's heart. Now they'll discover if their love can withstand those who tore them apart. Held for weeks without food or water, Layala's resolve begins to fracture as an evil darkness looms over her. She’s the key to destroying the Void or reviving its creator— the long-dead Black Mage she has a mysterious connection to. Layala and Thane learn what it truly means to fight for love as their enemies surround them and it becomes a struggle for revenge, the kingdom, and finding the truth about why Layala seems to harbor the power of whether Palenor falls into darkness or if her Lightbringer name holds true. Author's note: Long Live the Elf Queen is book 2 in the Elf Queen series and ends on a cliffhanger. It contains romantic steam, violence, war, and mature themes with morally grey characters.

The captivating third book in J.M. Kearl’s bestselling Elf Queen saga is filled with breathtaking romance and heated tension. Layala Lightbringer’s worst fears came true when she woke the wicked Black Mage, Hel. He claims she is a goddess reborn… and his wife. For her, the Elf King Thane is the love she desires, the one she fought for, and the one she wishes to marry. She wants nothing to do with her past. Until their lives are threatened and her relationship with Thane depends on remembering who she was in her previous existence as Valeen. But she can’t do it on her own. To get her memories back she must rely on the one she hates most, Hel, and working with him rather than against him poses its own risks. He is a dangerous temptation, and Layala finds herself pulled between two entirely different lives with two very different loves.

Holy….that was intense! What an ending! Can’t wait for book 4. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5

This is a romance book (in the guise is a fantasy novel) for unrealistic women. I kept listening because the writing is good, and if it wasn’t for the cheese romance that really started in hard on this last book, it’s a good story. But I can’t finish. It’s at least a 4 star book if you love triangle and abusive relationships. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

The third book in its series set up perfectly for you to turn all you knew upside down. As the author has been hinting at in the first two books, there is so much more than you originally thought!
Layala must understand who she is and who she was! Bringing it all together and moving forward to the next steps of the journey in where she is meant to be.
This was a great new twist for the characters and I can’t wait to see what’s next with the band back together again - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
