The Bride Of The Devil

Lydia Andreyevna thought the stories were exaggerated.



They said the Grand Duke of Zolotaria was a monster. That he wore a mask to hide the face of a killer. That he bathed in blood and showed no mercy.



But when she saw Ivan Romanov slit a man’s throat and smile at the corpse like it was art, she knew—she had married the devil.



After losing her parents, Lydia was left to suffer under her uncle, Lord Alexander, who stole everything she had. Desperate to escape a forced marriage to a Baron old enough to be her grandfather, she begged Queen Olga for help. The queen agreed—but at a price.



Now, Lydia belongs to a man feared by all. A man whose name alone makes others tremble. A man who doesn’t flinch at death… because he’s lived too close to it for far too long.



And behind his mask, no one knows what he's truly thinking.



Not even his wife.
