A Bone in the Throat: The First Bride

No one knows that I’m living my second life. This time in a dying world, where fertile land is slowly being swallowed by an anomalous desert. Here I survived an assassination attempt, my fiancé’s betrayal with my own sister, and a temporary loss of the source that protected our land from emptiness. Everyone in the kingdom believed the days of our bloodline were numbered, but I managed to bring the source back to life—stronger than before.

I’m no longer just a useless shadow of my beautiful sister. Now every noble house in the kingdom wants to claim me, but I dream of freedom.

Freedom to live, freedom to choose, freedom to love.
