Almond never wanted to be a bride.
Especially not to a creature born of bone chants and blood oaths.
But prophecy doesn’t care what you want—it only cares what you were made for. And Almond? She was built for darkness. Scarred and supernatural, inked in pain and sharpened by fire, she’s hunted by a seductive, ancient force called the Prophet—a being who marks his chosen not with rings, but with rituals.
When Aren—the boy she once trusted—returns possessed, everything explodes. A wedding is arranged beneath a veil of fire, and Almond agrees… just to stab the groom at the altar. But killing evil doesn’t end the story—it only wakes it up.
As Almond, Velda (her bruised but badass ride-or-die), and Kairo (a cursed mage with too much knowledge and not enough soul left) flees deeper into ruined lands, truths unravel: Almond’s mother may have bargained her daughter into darkness. Aren may no longer be just Aren. And the Prophet? He might not be dead—just inside the veil, whispering sweet ruin.
Now the question isn’t how Almond escapes.
It’s how far she’ll go to finish the prophecy she was never supposed to survive.
Because some brides wear white.
Almond wears blood.
