Summary:

Gladiator meets Dungeons and Dragons in this dark fantasy series—both a metaphor for the immigrant experience and a captivatingly romantic read, from National Readers Choice Finalist Cecy Robson.


In Old Erth, elves reign supreme, controlling all other races with an iron fist. But they are not all-powerful. Unable to propagate their race, they depend on using humans as livestock, mating them with elven women to further themselves.

As a human, Leith has spent his entire life fighting in the arena in the hopes of making it to the Black Guard – the elite rank of warriors who have won their freedom. He’s battled dragons and shifters and all kinds of monsters. There is only one battle left until he can finally be free from servitude.

But when he meets Alva, a rare human born from elf parents, he chooses her as his companion. Little does he know that Alva has secrets of her own. She has powers – dangerous, secret powers, that the elven nobility cannot find out about. The gladiator may be preferable to the marriage her parents have in mind for her, but Alva has never been taught how to be human.

Once Leith is free, the ruling family realise that he is too popular to keep alive. And Alva is perfectly placed to take him down. But the feelings that are growing between the pair could mean the freedom of the world – or the destruction of them all.

FAQ

What is The Book Drop?

The Book Drop is a surprise monthly book subscription service powered by Bethany Beach Books, an independent bookstore in Bethany Beach, Delaware. We shipped our first mailing in 2015! We understand that sadly not everyone has a local, independent bookstore near them so our mission is to help bring the independent bookstore experience to readers.

We ship book subscriptions between the 15th-21st of each month. Readers will receive tracking via email as soon as we start preparing their mailing. One-time orders ship within 2-3 business days and pre-orders ship on their release date.

When will I get my first book?

Our book subscriptions ship the same time every month: between the 15th-21st. Subscribe before the 11th (11:59pm EST) of the mailing month & receive your book with that round of mailings! Subscribe on or after the 12th (12:00am EST) and your first book will ship the following quarterly mailing. As soon as we start packing your subscription, we send an email with tracking information. All one-time products from our Shop ship within 2-3 business days (or on release date for pre-orders).
