Bride of the Black Wolf by Jess Rae

She was chosen as a sacrifice.

He was feared as a monster.

Neither of them expected to become the north's last hope.

Vivia Briar was never meant to survive Gloomreach. Sent as a bride tribute to the cursed lord known as the Black Wolf, she expected blood, terror, and a grave beneath the fortress walls.

Instead, she found Drystan Blackthorne—a man chained to an ancient curse, haunted by dead brides, and trapped inside a legacy built on hunger, vows, and lies.
