When the Guardian has served thirty years, he’s gifted a Bride in payment for keeping the village safe.
That’s what the shrine keepers call her. But we all know what the truth is. One unlucky woman from our village will have her name called and she’ll be our sacrifice to the Beast that guards us from the Scourge.
One life in exchange for decades of safety for everyone. Because it doesn’t matter that they call her the Guardian’s Bride, that they say its an honor. We all know that the Beast beneath the gate is a monster.
Not a one of us believes the Bride will survive the night.
When they draw my name I try to run but there’s no escape. To deny the Guardian would bring a curse down on the whole village and the pleading of one woman isn’t enough to sway them.
So I’m marched to the gate, forced to marry the bull headed monster and tossed into his maze.
But my terrifying husband isn’t the only threat lurking beneath the gate, and I’m learning that despite the stories, there is a chance to survive, if I’m brave enough to take it.
