Descent into Zarkalfyn by Alena Morgan

Moira wants nothing more than to leave her abusive father behind, but her plans are interrupted when her village is attacked by raiders led by a knight in black armor. When she captures and unmasks this knight, she discovers that he’s a young man under a cruel dark elf queen’s spell. As the spell weakens, his true self emerges, and her heart goes out to him. If she wants to save him – and save herself – she must travel to Zarkalfyn, the dark elf kingdom, and bargain for his freedom…if she can survive the quest.
