Story4 out of 5 stars 56
The elves come for two things: war and wives. In both cases, they come for death. Three-thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed. Now, for centuries, the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen. To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk. A mark nineteen-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl. Instead, she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer. That is, until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives... for her.

This story is a present day twist on the biblical story of Jacob and his mother Rebecca plotting together against the elderly father Isaac, who is lying on his deathbed, in order to get their hands on the inheritance, and on the power in the family. This is no old fairy tale. Its power is here and now, in each one of us. Listening to Yankle telling his take on events, we understand the bitter rivalry between him and his brother.

Absolutely Dreadful
I couldn’t make it through 15 mins as the narrator sounds like she’s reading through a busted speaker. If you like the white noise then this book is for you. With every word, the speaker hashed and crackled. I switch devices and still got the same effect. But the book is for children, it’s like a bedtime story about night, day, the sun and etc. I like fables but the narrator is absolutely dreadful.
