The Bride Rite: Sea of Trees

Deep in the Sea of Trees, near the Snowcrest Mountains lies the minuscule village of Asura. The people of Asura are hardy, superstitious folk, bound together through their isolated location and the historical relevance of being founded before the Kingdom of Sunspire took its first breath. It's the sort of place where winter takes no prisoner, where the dangers of the wild are just as prevalent as the unknown.

Adelaide Bäcker knows the superstitious nature of her people all too well. The whispers of the village and the incessant bullying of the other children who called her a Changling growing up have followed her into adulthood. In a place where being called a Changeling can bring a death sentence Adelaide does her best to blend in, well as best as her orange hair allows that is. If it were up to Adelaide she would spend all her time in her father's bakery or enjoying the company of her sisters, but since it isn't up to Adelaide her brother is inheriting the bakery and her mother is intent on her getting married.

It just so happens to be Adelaide's luck that the only ones interested in her marriage are men over the age of forty or her long-time bully Aeron Schmidt who is determined to make Adelaide miserable for the rest of her life.

Yet, a chance encounter with a Fae has her life spiraling towards disaster and everything she knows turning upside down.

The village isn't the only thing buried in the snow, secrets start to surface that put Adelaide in the path of death.
