About this Event

Join us in celebrating the release of The Fae Captain’s Thief with author Elle Thrasher for a conversation about the irresistible mess that happens when a thief and the captain she stole from end up on the same ship.

Alongside Annie of Sable Sorensen, Elle will dive into Bryn’s treasure-hunting adventures, the necklace worth more than gold, and that stolen compass that just might be the most complicated souvenir from one unforgettable night together.

Inspired by Nordic folklore and packed with mystical creatures, icy waters, danger, banter, and plenty of romance, this is the perfect chance to get swept into Elle’s world, hear the stories behind the story, and celebrate the new release with fellow romantasy readers.

Tickets include a copy of The Fae Captain’s Thief. Following the conversation, get excited for a meet and greet with the author. Elle will sign and personalize The Fae Captain’s Thief as well as up to two backlist titles brought from home.

About The Author

Raised on old English fairytales and Nordic folklore, Elle Thrasher is a romantasy author who writes stories about relatable heroines, swoon-worthy heroes, and places that will give you wanderlust. You're also likely to find cute small towns, unique and epic magic systems, banter that will make you giggle at 2am, plus a cabin... there is always some sort of cabin. When she isn't writing, you can find her drinking a cup of tea, frolicking at the beach with a book, or staring at the yoga mat she probably should use for those mental health benefits.

About The Fae Captain’s Thief

Beware the third son of the inland sea — and the thief who stole more than just his compass.

Bryn has always chased shiny objects and secrets, diving deep into Fjord Fae legends in search of treasure and myth. But when word spreads of a necklace worth more than gold and glory, she can’t resist the lure. She sets out alone for a remote island, determined to claim it.

The theft is the easy part.

The escape? That’s where things get complicated.

The only vessel leaving the jagged coastline is captained by the one man she vowed never to face again: a ruthless fae prince with a sharp smile and a darker past. A man she left after one night together. A man whose stolen compass still hangs at her hip.

Now, with a winter storm closing in and a desperate need to get home, Bryn must choose: freeze on shore or risk everything aboard the ship of the fae she once left.

Pirates of the Caribbean meets cold and ancient Nordic waters. The Fae Captain’s Thief is a romantic fantasy with a suave and morally gray captain, a confident and badass fmc, elemental magic, and mystical creatures right out of Nordic folklore. This adult fae romance is perfect for readers of LJ Andrews, Helen Scheuerer, and Frozen (but make it not PG).
