THE DARK ROMANTASY READERS CAN'T PUT DOWN
She didn't volunteer to be his bride. She volunteered to be his end.
For three hundred years, the Shadow Court has taken one daughter from the village of Ashcombe.
Not one has survived the year.
Briar Hawthorne knows this. She also knows something the court doesn't - she has seven years of secret training, a hidden blade, and one mission that has nothing to do with being a good wife.
But Lucan Ashveil is nothing like the monster she was promised.
He keeps records of every dead bride. He grieves every single one. And the longer Briar stays in his castle, the more she suspects the real threat isn't sitting on the throne at all.
Now she has a choice.
Complete the mission she was built for - or trust the man she came to destroy.
Marry the Monster is a slow burn dark fantasy romance featuring an assassin bride, a brooding king with three centuries of secrets, and a mystery that will keep you reading past midnight. Contains dark themes some readers may find disturbing.
Book 1 of the Devil's Bargain Series.
