The Last Bride: A Gothic Novel of Blood, Betrayal, and Fire

By Dr. Anthony-Claret Ifeanyi Onwutalobi

Some houses devour their brides. Some brides devour the house.

On her wedding night, Nneka thought she was stepping into a life of love and promise. Instead, she stepped into a prison built of marble and secrets.

Betrayed by her husband and abandoned to a house that breathes and hungers, Nneka soon learns that the Chibuike estate does not simply shelter - it devours.

Every bride pays a price.
Every whisper carries a warning.
Every locked door hides a piece of the curse that binds the family's blood to something ancient and monstrous.

Bound by tradition and trapped by fear, Nneka must decide:
Obey the rules and lose herself forever...
Or risk everything to escape a fate worse than death.

In the Chibuike mansion, love is a lie, and survival has a cost.

The Last Bride is a haunting gothic tale of blood, betrayal, and fire - a story of defiance against the forces that demand your silence, and the choice to burn down what would consume you.
