Description

Grimm's Fairytales meets Dark Epic Fantasy.

A high-born girl learns she's been sold as a bride to a dead goblin prince.

Being betrothed to a goblin prince is bad enough—they're all ugly and horrid and live in dark tunnels underground. But being betrothed to a dead goblin prince? That's an immediate death sentence!

Nineteen-year-old Rowan attempts to flee when she learns about her arranged marriage. But there's no escaping a contract signed by the dreaded Goblin King.

Now, all the dark magic in the Realm is against her. The gruesome King of Death himself will be looking for her soon.

Rowan's only hope is to convince the fair Nicholas—the boy she planned to run away with—to destroy her marriage contract. But it must be done before the sun rises.

And already, the sky is brightening with light.

Please note this 30-minute short read is a Dark Fantasy with Grimdark elements and unreliable narrators.
