In Shadowvalor, famine and floods drive villagers to burn Ella's family and force her into ghost marriage with dead raider Alexander, then exile her. He returns as Xander Knight, guarding her five years. Chosen as sacrifice, she is saved when Xander reveals himself and marries her. A cursed arrow nearly kills her; love and a second wedding break it. She wakes, bears Iris, fated to end cruel customs.
