Rhea, a humble miller’s daughter, never expected a marriage proposal—especially from the mysterious and menacing Lord Crevan. But in a world where commoners don’t refuse nobles, Rhea has no choice but to accept.
Before the wedding, Lord Crevan insists she visit his remote manor. There, Rhea discovers a chilling secret: her betrothed has been married six times before, and his former wives are still alive—trapped within his enchanted castle.
Determined not to become the next prisoner, Rhea demands her freedom. In response, Crevan sets her a series of impossible magical tasks with a dire warning: “Come back before dawn, or I’ll marry you.”
With time running out, Rhea must summon all her courage and cunning to outwit the sorcerer, free the other wives, and escape a fate worse than death.
