After an arranged marriage to a foreign nobleman goes horrifically awry, Princess Anya of Rus finds herself trapped in a deadly game of revolution and heretical magic. With a keen wit and her blood arts, she might just make it out alive, and even find true love - if the demon in her head doesn’t get her first. Dark fantasy with elements of romance, horror, and mystery. No LitRPG elements. Note that the sexual content tag applies only to a very brief scene in one chapter. What to expect: - A female protagonist with unusual magic navigating a largely hostile world through skill and ingenuity. - A slow-burn arranged marriage romance with a focus on character growth. - An attempted-murder mystery to be solved, with far-reaching consequences for the setting and characters. - A world based on Europe in the early modern period, with a narrative focus on class, gender dynamics, and an emerging conflict between new capitalists and the old aristocracy. - Weird magic revolving around forming bonds with extradimensional eldritch beings.
