The Thirteenth Bride

In a kingdom where noble daughters are raised to become the pride of their families, one girl is born as an embarrassment.

She is the unwanted daughter of a powerful noble family, constantly overshadowed by her beautiful and beloved half-sisters. Her existence is tolerated only because of her father's name, but she has never been treated as someone worthy of love.

When the royal decree arrives demanding thirteen brides for the cursed Lord of the North, her family sees an opportunity to finally get rid of her.

She is selected as the thirteenth bride.

Unlike the previous twelve women, who were chosen from the kingdom's most prestigious bloodlines, she is sent without a dowry, without a farewell, and without anyone expecting her to return.

The man she is supposed to marry is not human— but a monster who has lived for centuries inside a castle where no sunlight reaches, a creature feared by the kingdom and rumored to devour every woman who enters his chambers.
