Once It Gets Dark
In the very near future, Germany has started, and lost, a war against a newly discovered elven dimension.
The country is now occupied by the Fae who have no interest in land or wealth. Instead, they suffer under a terrible curse: no female children have been born among them for decades. Facing their own extinction, the Fae strike a peace treaty with the defeated German government, centered around the only resource of true value to them—women.
The story begins five months after the treaty is signed and follows Anna, a carefree linguistics student who has just moved to Berlin and whose life quickly takes an unexpectedly dark turn, as she becomes much deeper entangled in the politics of this new reality than she could have expected.
Or, TLDR: Young woman gets captured and bred by a powerful elven warrior 😂😂

I NEED MORE!! I enjoyed the dark romance aspects, but I was obsessed with the worldbuilding of the Veril language and culture and I need more from the Verilverse!!!
