With no mother, father, or brother to protect her, Adelaide was forced by her fellow villagers to become a sacrificial bride to appease the undying monster that lives in the manor hidden deep in the woods
Every few years, unwanted, unloved, and abused girls who were of age were sent to the monster, never to be seen or heard of again. Marrying the monster was a death sentence.
