Coming from a small mountain school, Jovan has struggled to fit in at the Imperial Academy. His habit of poking the bear doesn’t help things. It’s left him running from bullies more than once. When he stumbles across a beautiful elf skilled in self-defense, he can’t believe his luck. As heir to the Imperial Throne, Princess Everlee can never let her guard down. When Jovan needs help standing up to a bully, she’s happy to train him. It’s nice to make a friend who doesn’t realize she’s royal. He likes her for herself, not for her title. When Jovan’s smart mouth gets him in trouble again, they’ll make sure he’s ready for the challenge. Will his friendship with the elf of his dreams help him belong in the Imperial Center, or will he get clobbered by an adversary that he never expected? Blackberries and Crowns is an introduction to the Valley Glen Elves series and is perfect for fans of clean YA romantasy.
