Johan had resigned himself to spending his life alone. Until them. Until two sets of scared but fierce amber eyes peer at him through curtains of silky white hair, and Johan’s heart takes on a new beat. A beat he can’t ignore.
Despite escaping their captors, a dark cloud looms over Elias and Henrik’s heads. They were bought and paid for, after all.
However, their luck appears to change when they cautiously accept the offer of a roof over their heads from a kind but silent shoemaker. Only, it was meant to be a stopping-off point, a place to re-group before they start their new life. They had each other, and they were not supposed to fall for him.
Struggling to recover from invisible wounds, the two elves can’t always bear the weight of each other’s burdens. But maybe he can…
When it becomes the talk of the town that a local, unassuming shoemaker is selling elf-made shoes, will they be able to evade their captor once more?
More importantly, will they ever truly belong to themselves again?
This GriMM Tales retelling is an MMM romance featuring two kind but dramatic elves healing from their time in captivity and a shoemaker who yearns for connection in a world that has ostracised him for his inability to speak. Sometimes, a whole is three-thirds instead of two halves.
Each book set in the GriMM fairytale world can be read as a standalone and contains its own Happily Ever After story. Though you’ll definitely want to read each one, as the tales are connected to each other in multiple magical ways.
