After being left at the altar by the prince she was promised to, a young woman is forced into a marriage with a king who is already dead. Bound to a husband who exists somewhere between life and death, she must navigate a dangerous royal court and the strange powers that come with her new crown.
What becomes of the bride after the vows? She joins her husband. Your king is dead? Exactly.
Stop the carriage! Stop the damned carriage! Under the ninth article of the truce, Valyria has delivered a bride to the crown of Vargan.
Do not profane the king. How long has he been dead? Seven days. The vows are witnessed.
Before law and death, you are his queen. No. Stay away from me! Which law says the bride must die?
The same law that made you queen.
