You may be looking for the standalone novel Hollow Kingdom (2019).The year is 1815, the setting England. In the wake of her father's death, young Kate Winslow comes to live at Hallow Hill, her younger sister Emily in tow. The girls settle in with their great aunts and try their best to fit into life on the mysterious estate, despite an unwelcoming guardian, the revelation of some dismaying family secrets and the uneasy feeling Kate gets one night, returning from a walk in the forest...Lost during a storm one evening, a few months after their arrival at Hallow Hill, Kate and Emily are guided home by a mysterious cloaked man named Marak. Though Emily takes a liking to the stranger, Kate feels a deep distrust of him, and the more she learns, the more it becomes clear that her instincts are correct. Marak is brilliant, cruel, charming, powerfully magic, and extremely rude. Also, he's a goblin.The first book of the trilogy, The Hollow Kingdom, deals with Kate's attempts to protect herself and Emily from Marak and her unscrupulous guardian, and her later involvement in the goblin kingdom. The second book, Close Kin, focuses more on the elves, who were thought to be extinct, with the story of Sable and her band, as well as the Coming of Age-cum-Girl Next Door-style love story of Emily and Seylin. The third book, In The Coils of the Snake, deals with Miranda, arranged to marry the goblin King in a plan much like one thought up by Hikaru Genji, except that this plan was orchestrated by the groom's father; like Close Kin, it also reveals more about the elves, by way of a very attractive elf lord with whom Miranda ends up living.One of the strengths of the series is the detail it goes into in depicting the cultures and motivations of elves and goblins, in ways that both resemble and differ from traditional portrayals. Both species hold deep-set stereotypes and prejudices of each other—a common theme is the conflict between the two races, as well as their similarities. Another theme is the capture and forced marriage of human and elf brides, vital to the survival of both goblins and elves, which may be off-putting to some—however, this practice is not necessarily shown in a heroic light, and its negative effects are quite visible.In addition to the three books, the author, Clare B. Dunkle, provides a substantial amount of All There in the Manual on her website, including short stories and deleted scenes.

Royals Who Actually Do Something
 Hollow Kingdom Trilogy / int_1edfa2c7
comment
Royals Who Actually Do Something: The elf and goblin Kings are both responsible for the welfare of their races. The goblin Kings traditionally manage the spells supporting the Kingdom and find work for the dwarves. In the first book, Marak is so dedicated to his duties that he resumes them while he is bedridden after having his soul stolen, something that is indicated to have greatly impeded his recovery. Elf Kings renew the border spell around their kingdoms to protect their lands. Nir (Aganir Ash) protects his people and makes sacrifices at his own expense to ensure the survival of his race. Kate gets props for breaking out of the Goblin Kingdom, despite being heavily enchanted against just that, to go rescue Marak in the first place. She also works in goblin schools, teaching English to the ones who will have to travel the surface and interact with humans.

Nope. The book flashesforward more than a year for the last four chapters and adds a human sorceror villian who is out to enslave the souls of all the goblins.

Comic Trio: Catspaw, Richard, and Seylin fit, though they're not at all comical and the straight man is able to eventually prevent disaster. Catspaw's the one who comes up with the incorrect conclusions and idiotic plans that drive the plot. Richard is the one blindly following his orders. Seylin is the intelligent one trying to figure out what's really going on.

Belated Love Epiphany: As a (mostly) human woman living in the goblin kingdom, Emily has to marry a goblin. After being turned down by her (because she was distracted by the kids she was babysitting, and because he didn't flat out say "will you marry me"), Seylin sets out to find his elf roots, because he looks exactly like an elf himself although he's a goblin. Emily is offended by this (partly because she is told that he went to find an elf bride) and claims to want to journey to find her human nature, but really to chase after him.

Love Dodecahedron
 Hollow Kingdom Trilogy / int_4523420b
comment
Love Dodecahedron: During Close Kin and In the Coils of the Snake. Close Kin is based on the romantic rejections, misunderstandings, and forced marriages of the characters. Seylin and Thaydar want to marry Emily, who doesn't want to marry anyone at all until Seylin leave and she suddenly wants him. Thorn wants to marry Sable, who refuses out of fear of dying in childbirth. He later thinks Seylin wants to marry Irina, at which point, he stakes his claim on her himself. Irina and Sable are then taken as stolen brides by Thaydar and Tinsel, respectively. There is a love polygon between Nir, Miranda, Catspaw, Arianna, and Tattoo. Arianna and Tattoo don't really want to be involved. So the core of the triangle would be with Nir, Miranda, and Catspaw. Arianna isn't in love with anyone, but starts out engaged to Nir only to be forced into a marriage with Catspaw. Tattoo just wants to marry Seylin's daughter, Celia, but is slated to marry Miranda after her engagement to Catspaw is broken, against both of their inclinations. Nir has to marry Miranda because his magic says he must and he falls in love with her during the course of the book. Catspaw falls in love with Miranda during their engagement, but must give her up for Arianna who will bear him a stronger son. Miranda initially wants to marry Catspaw because she was raised to do so by Marak. She later falls in love with Nir and wants to be with him, while Catspaw and Seylin want her to marry Tattoo.

Wife Husbandry: On a massive scale: elf girls are traditionally looked after by their fiancees, who are often older, until they marry at eighteen. Could be considered a Jail Bait Wait, but much less Squicky than than the typical example; elves regard any female under eighteen as a child, and the idea of having any kind of romance with her is abhorrent to them.

Action Prologue: Each book starts with a prologue where something horrible or shocking just happened or is about to happen. The Hollow Kingdom describes Adele's kidnapping and the moments just before her forced marriage to Marak Dogclaw. Close Kin Starts with the death of Sable's friend and her own realization that she will be the next to die, followed by her self-mutilation. In the Coils of the Snake the first words "But why do you have to die tomorrow?"

Arranged Marriage: This runs rampant throughout the books and in the series mythology. All elves are arranged to be married from the time the girl is twelve years old. Marak arranges for Thaydar and Irina, Tinsel and Sable, and Miranda and Catspaw to marry, though he doesn't get his way with the last of the three.

Unwanted Spouse: Since the women are mostly kidnap victims, they always start out not wanting their spouse, and in a lot of cases continue not to want them and even attempt suicide to get away. In the cases where elf King's give their stolen wives amnesia to force their devotion, they soon no longer want their brides because of how childlike and dependent they become.

Denied Food as Punishment: Elf men hand their wives and fiances their food. Thorn denies Sable food as a form of punishment for mutilating her own face so she wouldn't have to marry him. On a regular basis, he gives her as little food as possible, once even using a piece of bread as a napkin to clean his face before dropping it on the ground for her to pick up and eat. When she wakes him up after having a nightmare, he withholds it altogether.

Authority Equals Asskicking: Both the elf and goblin Kings have the most powerful magical abilities in their races. Also, Thorn is leader of Sable's band because he's the best fighter.

Freudian Trio
 Hollow Kingdom Trilogy / int_e8cae797
comment
Freudian Trio: The books have a few sets of these. First generation of goblins: Seylin - the cool, calm, rational superego, even as a child. Marak Sixfinger - the more emotionally motivated id. Thaydar - the ego, which is a combination of the two. The elf brides: Sable - (superego) logical, calm, and intelligent. Irina - (id) emotionally driven. Kate - (ego) emotional, but also logical. Second generation of goblins: Seylin - the calm, logical, and rational superego. Catspaw - the more emotionally motivated id. Richard - the ego, which is a combination of the two.

You Are Number 6: Lim. Her name means 4 in elvish. Since fourth children are rare in elf culture, when a fourth child is born, he or she is always named Lim.
