Set in the Victorian era or around that time period, in a gothic fantasy world where magic exists and creatures roam. Rich nobles tend to stay out of the way of such mythical happenings but sometimes the lines get a little blurred and what can only be described as carnage follows. Seraphina is one of the governor's daughters, who grew up with a degree of nobility. Always taught to be poised and educated which would have been perfect if she wasn't stuck in a manor unless invited out to a formal event. After a while she would grow lonely and wonder what was on the outside of the garden's borders. A high fence made of black steel and iron surrounds the gardens and manor, said to keep evil out; but who is to say what is evil and what is not? Are the so-called monsters just misunderstood or truly villains? The lines between good and evil are blurred in Seraphina's mind as she discovers more and more about the creatures in a hidden and old part of the manor library. It is here that the heroine decides that she should find out for herself. But when push comes to shove can she deal with her own mind unraveling and a surprising discovery that both enchants and horrifies her. A while later when bodies are being found on the outskirts of the nearby village seraphina vows to figure out what is happening and when the tragedy strikes close to home she comes to a sickening realisation that her own mind might be hiding things from her.

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK
