The Elf Captive: An inter realm urban fantasy (The War for Magic Book 1)

Asha Lopez is an arcane soldier with thirteen years of front-line experience. When she is assigned to interrogate an elf prisoner, she expects a straightforward mission. Instead, the prisoner reveals secrets about a fifteen-year gate war—truths that could destabilize her world if exposed. These revelations also uncover a deep truth about Asha's own identity. As Asha investigates each revelation, she becomes entangled in an impossible choice: turn in a confession that would condemn the prisoner, or protect him at the cost of her career, her country's official narrative, and everything she has been trained to believe. Complicating matters further, she finds herself developing feelings for him—a dangerous position that could prove fatal. This near-future military urban fantasy features a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that develops across the series.
