Bought By the Colossus (Monsters’ Bride Market #9)

My touch is death. Everything turns to ash beneath my fingers. Everything… except my colossus. Born of a dead mother and a necromancer’s spell, I am a walking plague.

One brush of my skin withers flowers, rots flesh, and stops hearts. I am a weapon, used by a tyrant to find the mythical Golden Fleece. And then I meet him. Aion. The Colossus.

A metallic monster of living bronze, fueled by death energy. He reaches to shatter my chains, and I wait for him to die. But he doesn’t wither. He doesn’t turn to dust.

For the first time, a man touches me… and lives. Now, to stay with him, I must enter the bride market. This silent giant, a creature without a heartbeat, is the only one who can survive my curse.

In his arms, I’m not a blight to be caged. I am a woman to be desired. He is the only one I can ever choose. But the tyrant I betrayed will burn this world to reclaim his weapon.

And in a city where my curse can’t harm the man I desire, I might still be the one thing that destroys us all.
