Time for another cover reveal!
I know that I generally review traditionally published books. Now don’t get me wrong there are a few indie pubs on here, and I will only ever give you my absolutely honest reviews. There were some I didn’t even want to review and still did. But the indie world of publishing is absolutely insane y’all. With the general requirement to push out as many books as possible (sometimes upwards of 2-3 a year) these authors take on the job of an entire publishing house, including but not limited to:
- Writer
- Cover Designer
- Editor
- Publicist
- Marketer
I don’t think I know anyone who does this better than Elise. Seriously not only is her writing phenomenal she makes the prettiest books I’ve ever seen. I have the pleasure of being on her street team and seeing behind the scenes. How she gets a cover artist and takes their art and turns it into her cover design, how she engages with the team. Seriously her street team is on par with Susan Dennard’s who I am also a member of and they have both made me hesitant to join any other team because I know how much they put into us and care for us as a group.
Now, this is technically the second book in the series but they are all set in the same world, each a stand-alone fantasy romance. As a sucker for any Hades and Persephone retelling A Deal with the Elf King (read my review here!) was an automatic read for me. This story is pitched as CINDERELLAxTHE CRUEL PRINCE.
Now without adieu:

She knew her hand in marriage would be sold. She had no idea a fae prince was the buyer.
Katria swore she’d never fall in love. She’s seen what “love” means through the cruelty of her family. So when she’s married off to the mysterious Lord Fenwood for a handsome price, all Katria wants is a better life than the one she’s leaving. Feelings are off the table.
But her new husband makes not falling in love difficult.
As their attraction begins to grow, so too do the oddities within her new life: strange rules, screams in the night, and attacks by fae that Katria never thought were real. When she witnesses a ritual not meant for human eyes, Katria finds herself spirited away to the land of Midscape.
Surviving the fae wilds as a human is hard enough. Katria must survive as a human who accidently pilfered the magic of ancient kings — magic a bloodthirsty king is ready to kill her for in order to keep his stolen throne — and her new husband is the rightful heir in hiding.
The power to save the fae is in her hands. But who will save her from a love she vowed never to feel?
A Dance with the Fae Prince is a complete, *stand-alone novel*, inspired by the tales of Psyche and Eros, as well as Cinderella, with a “happily ever after” ending. It’s perfect for romantic fantasy readers who enjoyed A Court of Silver Flames and An Enchantment of Ravens. A Dance with the Fae Prince features a slow-burn romance and a swoon-worthy couple.
A bit more about the Book:
This beautiful cover illustration is the work Marcelia Medeiros. And the Character Illustrations are by Merwild.
If you see the book listed as A Dance with the Fae Rouge, that was a previous title!
Some retailers are populating the information for physical copies as “out of stock” or “unavailable” they will be changing this in the coming weeks.
You can get it as a paperback or hardcover!
