Bound to the Dark Elf King (Of Fate and Kings Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Jessica Grayson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (3,678)
Everyone fears the Dark Elf King. Varys is known as a fierce and lethal warrior; none can stand against his armies.

When I’m captured by the Dark Elves and taken before their king, my first thought is of escape. The moment our eyes meet, King Varys claims I am his Fated One—his Khio’ri.

Humans and Elves have been enemies for centuries, but his people believe that a soulbond woven by fate cannot be undone.

I doubt he’s ever going to let me go. But what does it mean to be Bound to the Dark Elf King?

**Each book in the Of Fate and Kings series can be read as a standalone romance, but it is recommended to read them in order to enhance the reading experience.**

**Spicy content. Not a dark romance**

    I love fantasy romance but I hate over descriptive books with complicated arcs with too many characters to remember. This book was super easy to read and was perfect to satisfy my fantasy romance thirst. It made my heart tingle and that’s always a sign of a good book for me. I can’t wait to devour the others in this series and more by this author. The characters were so beautiful and I fell in love with them all and the world built by this author.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Inara and Varys
    Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This is a steamy fated lovers story. In a realm where her magic is hunted, she has been hiding her visions all her life. To save her brother and stop an impending war, she agrees to marry the king of yhe dark elves. As she gets to know him, she fears he will reject not only her magic, but her in favor of a wifd who can give him heirs.
    He senses their fated bond as soon as he sees her trying to rescue her brother. He propses to her to create a marriage alliance between their two peoples. Her hesitations give him pause, but he knows she is the only woman for him.
    Great story. There are a few phrases and sentences that get unnecessarily repeated. At one point it pulled me out of the story. Still worth the read. It definitely introduces the next books in the series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fated Mates/Marriage of Convenience
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Princess Inara is taken prisoner to the dark elf king Varys. His kind is known to hate humans, and the two species being on the brink of war. But when he meets the princess, he knows she's his fated mate. Unfortunately, she does not, and a proposal of marriage to keep the two kingdoms from war is the only thing that may stop it.

    I have loved this author's work and Bound to the Dark Elf King is by far one of my favorites. I loved the Inara doesn't know and doesn't quite understand the whole fated mates idea, and that she couldn't tell that Varys was hers. Being feared by all, I expected Varys to be a little more cruel that what was shown, and I'm pleasantly surprised that he wasn't. I loved Varys from the moment he was introduced, so kudos to the author for giving us a lovable dark king.

    The pacing was great, not dragging the story out with useless details, and there was enough action that you never get bored with the story.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Redundant
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I wish I could rate this higher, as I love a good elf romance, and this one has the good bones of a great story; but the redundancies and continuity errors ended up pulling the star rating down. Which I hate to do to an Indie author. An author that needs her editor to be more than grammar police, despite the editor making error there too. The author needs people around her to push her to the next level of her craft. If this book had gone through some developmental edits it could be a five star read. As the author wrote a solid story but she seemed to rush through event to get to the next, so nothing in this book felt than anything was dire. The author never let tension or angst build, resolutions were to quick. Then there was the ‘I love you’ declaration; then several chapters later no one knows how the other feels. HUH??? Plus she gives the plots of her upcoming books away? I could go on, but most authors don’t want to listen to critiques of their babies; but know if you’re picking this book up you’ll be hit over the head with redundant feelings and even dialogue. Despite the redundancies, the author wrote an imaginative world and I am hoping book two is more polished. Yes I will be reading this author again, and hoping she grows into her craft.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love these Jessica Grayson fairytale retelling and mythical creature reads!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Seriously, they’re fairly formulaic, but they’re just done so well! And this one is a favorite of mine! I loved all of the misunderstandings in this book and how things were worked out. I loved seeing these two come together and grow together. I cannot wait for the rest of the supporting characters to get their HEAs.

    The world building is perfect and the characters a strong. Her books are the perfect escape for me. I’ll definitely be finishing this series and looking forward to every single one!

    Five stars, three chili peppers, highly recommend - particularly for lovers of PNR, mythical creatures, and fairytale retellings (even though this technically isn’t one, it gives strong vibes)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Different but good
    Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2022
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    When I first started this book I wasn't sure I could get past the strange writing. I'm not sure if the author is ESL or if she was trying to be fancy but it is almost like reading a journal instead of a book in some ways. She uses the word "this" inaccurately and her tenses (past/present/future) are a bit mixed. HOWEVER, despite that I was able to really immerse and I absolutely loved the character building, world building and storyline.

    Another side note: the way the author chose to start the book is almost more like a history book in that she gives background info on the kingdoms and lands before anything else. I dislike this writing strategy because unless there is interest in the characters and story none of that information matters but again I would advise readers to push onward because the story is great

    Dark elf king that is extremely sexy and so caring about his human mate. This is probably one of my favorite books so far. I loved it so much. The story was good and there was some sexy scenes in it. It was just not all bout the sexy scenes. The story was so good and had me holding my breath a few times and fusing at both characters. I really loved the dark elfs brother. He was so funny. I hope he gets a book.

    I'm new to this author so I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm so glad I gave the start to this series a chance. Fated mates has never been better!

    At first things developed slowly, but I could feel how drawn they were to each other and the way their love grew gave me butterflies every step of the way. It was beyond words!

    I'm a huge fan of slow burn, so this was right up my alley. Not to mention the world the author crafted, which drew me in from the start and kept me turning pages long into the night.

    I can't wait to read more in this universe!

    Reviewed in France on January 24, 2025

    The main leads are very green flags with a soulmate and mutual pining trope. The universe has well established fantasy rules that are nice, the lore is interesting and the first book lays the foundations for other romances which may or may not hook you into the war to defend the seven realms.

    It's a little cheesy and not that spicy but very okay.
