Lydia Crane was murdered by her stepmother—but didn't stay dead. She rose as a corpse bride: pale, red-eyed, no heartbeat, no mercy. The world calls her monster. She calls herself survivor.
She marries General Cedric Sunderic—a cold soldier who needs a mother for his children. A deal: she raises them, he gives her a home. No love. Just survival.
But his family hides a murder. The children's mother didn't die naturally.
Oliver, eleven: "She never harmed us."
Eileen, seven: "You are the monster!"
And the cold general? He takes her hand and says: "Let's go home."
