A Bride Against Her Will, or Betrothed by a Curse

I was preparing for my wedding. Everything was already decided for me. A husband, children, a job. But one meeting changed my life. I’m in another world—with a cursed gift that can kill me. There’s no choice; I’ve been ordered to take part in the selection. And that means learning to be a mage. The academy’s doors are open to me—only not everyone is happy about it. Just as not everyone is happy about the prince’s next bride. But I’m not afraid of trials. What’s far more frightening is realizing that, being the only bearer of a dark gift, I might become a dangerous toy in someone else’s hands.
