I was married off to a rich and influential baron without being told anything about our family’s curse. My husband turned out to be a real monster with his terrible secret. My life hangs by a thread.
Deciding to escape, I settled in a small town and opened a bakery shop. Life is slowly getting better. But what if my husband finds out my secret and finds me? Will I manage to run further, or will he force me to come back?
The story of the middle sister Alicia Velskaya.
*** The cycle “The Cursed Brides”: The women of the Velskaya line are beautiful and deadly dangerous. We are cursed. Men who marry into one of the sisters’ line die without living even a year with them. We are three sisters, and the glory of the cursed brides poisons our lives. After all, there were no more people wishing to marry us.
But what are we supposed to do with our sisters—those who so long for a wedding and “even death will not separate you.” Though the last sounds more like mockery.
