Irina has been promised to a monster. In her cursed Transylvanian village, every generation offers a bride to the vampire who stalks their borders. She accepts her fate willingly, but not for mercy. Her sister’s soul is trapped in the underworld, and Irina will do anything to bring her back. Even if it means wedding the dead.
Her new husband, Stefan, agrees to guide her through the realm of shadows in exchange for her blood. Their journey twists through haunted landscapes and monstrous realms, where love is as dangerous as death itself.
But every step brings them closer to a truth that could destroy them both. In a land ruled by the dead, Irina must decide what’s worth saving, her sister, her heart, or her humanity.
