About this listen
Julien always thought he knew his duty...until an arranged marriage upends his future. Prince Julien of Escarland was the kingdom's spare. His duty is to quietly stand in the background at his brother's side, protecting him and his heirs. Julien's younger siblings might have duties as ambassadors or in a marriage of alliance that would take them away from Escarland, but not Julien.
Yet when it becomes clear that one more marriage is needed to secure the three-way alliance between the kingdoms of Kostaria, Tarenhiel, and Escarland, Julien agrees to an arranged marriage with a troll. He doesn't know their language, and he might not be strong enough to fit into their battle-focused culture, but other than that, how bad could it be?
Vriska always thought she knew her future. As King Rharreth's shield sister, she is duty-bound to protect him and his queen. But she never expected her duty to include an arranged marriage with a human, of all people.
An empire-hungry kingdom is lurking, seeking any weakness in the alliance. Will this final bond safeguard the alliance, or cause it to crumble? And can Julien and Vriska find love in a relationship based on duty?
Return to the snowy mountains of Kostaria in this final installment of the best-selling Elven Alliance series!

Story
The human kingdom of Escarland and the elven kingdom of Tarenhiel have existed in an uneasy peace after their last wars ended with both kings dead. As tensions rise once again, desperate diplomacy might be the only way to avert war. If only negotiations between elves and humans were that simple. When a diplomatic meeting goes horribly wrong, Essie, a human princess, finds herself married to the elf prince and warrior Laesornysh. Fitting in to the serene, quiet elf culture might be a little difficult for this talkative princess, but she’s determined to make it work.

The fae snatch humans as playthings to torment. The Primrose steals them back. Vowing that no other family would endure the same fear and pain she felt when her older sister was snatched by the fae, Brigid puts on an empty-headed façade while she rescues humans in the shadowy guise of the Primrose, hero to humans, bane to the fae. Her only regret is that she can’t tell the truth to Munch, the young man in the human realm who she’s trying very hard not to fall in love with.

Story
Basil, a rather scholarly fae, works as an assistant librarian at the Great Library of the Court of Knowledge. Lonely and unwilling to join the yearly Midsummer Revel to find a mate, Basil takes the advice of his talking horse companion and decides to steal a human bride instead. But Basil never expected to find a human girl waiting for him, wanting to be snatched. Nor had he expected a girl like Meg, an illiterate farmgirl who has no use for books. Will this unlikely pair put aside their differences long enough to save the Great Library from destruction?

Story
If there’s one thing Rosemarie, an aspiring enchantress with budding magical powers, has learned throughout her studies, it's that magic must only be used for good. But when an egocentric prince breaks her sister’s heart, Rosemarie’s only focus is revenge, and what better way to enact it than with a well-chosen curse? A simple incantation is all it takes to transform the arrogant prince's appearance to match the state of his heart. But something goes wrong, causing the spell to affect not only the prince but its caster as well.

A dragon, a fae, and a pixie walk into a bookstore… Sounds like a joke, right? For me, it's just an ordinary day on the job. At least, it has been ever since my aunt disappeared and left me with her store, her cat, and a whole lot of unanswered questions. My whole life, I've been told to stay hidden. Pretend I'm human. Sell books, drink tea, and never betray the truth of what I am. But it turns out my aunt had secrets, and a lot of those secrets seem to involve me ending up dead. To survive, I'm going to have to reckon with my past, even if it means placing my trust in a total stranger.

Everyone dreams of marrying a prince - except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother's diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

The continuity of characters and storyline, I like how it all goes together
Sometimes I think the characters lack depth, they are usually all so agreeable but this one was particularly great in that aspect

To Fulfill One's Duty
I enjoyed book six of the "Elven Alliance" series as much as the first five books. Prince Julien agreed to an arranged marriage with a troll in order to secure the three-way alliance between the Humans, the Elves, and the Trolls. King Rharreth of the Trolls asked his shield sister, Vriska, to agree to marry Prince Julien. The worldbuilding was very complex. The author created characters which were as complicated as the worlds each came from. I enjoyed Julien's and Vriska's story. I liked all the twists and turns. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Liz Brand's narration was great, and her performance enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review which reflected my opinions.

Sad To See The End Of Such An Incredible Series!
Parents: PG13, very clean but geared towards the middle grade & young adult reader - adults will love it too
Language: none
Violence: moderate gore, fun fight scenes
Sexual content: none
I'm so sad to know that this is the last book!!! She is doing some books to fill in some missed stories between books or within the characters we all love, so I am looking forward to those. It just is so rare to find clean fantasy that doesn't fall short some where either in the plots, character development, or world building. These have kept my teenagers and I hooked and listening together (finding something that all 3 of them and I enjoy has become a task). I love in this book we get to see more of Julien and the prickly troll warrior Vriska and at the same time see updates from Farrendale and Essie as well as the others. These absolutely should be read in order and I HIGHLY recommend the entire series. I got pulled into this series with an invitation to review a couple books and have continued with the series and other books from this author on my own dime. 🤞That Tara changes her mind and expands on this series.
Liz Brand (5🌟) does a great job with the character differentiation and acting. She's really a lot of fun to listen to and I don't find the need to speed it up like I do on many other books.

AMAZING
I love this book series, and of you haven't listened to/read the first few books start with Essie and Farrendel's. first book NOW (you are welcome in advance).
narrator does a great job with the different voices. I think Queen Paige has a slightly annoying nasally voice but she's BARELY in it, probably less than 5minutes total spread out through the entire book.
the story is a perfect clean and swoony, but not embarrassing, I didn't feel weird listening to the audiobook with my elementary aged boys in the car with me.
