The Last Tale of the Flower Bride

More about the book

A sumptuous, gothic-infused tale explores a marriage unraveled by dark secrets, a friendship destined for tragedy, and the perils of believing in fairy tales. A man, a scholar of myths, marries the beautiful and mysterious Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada, heiress to a fortune. They share gifts and stories, believing in a happily ever after, but Indigo demands a promise: her husband must never inquire into her past. When Indigo's estranged aunt falls ill, they return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, where the bridegroom's curiosity grows. Within the manor's extravagant rooms and musty halls lies the shadow of Azure, Indigo’s childhood friend who vanished without a trace. As the house unveils Indigo’s secrets, the bridegroom faces a choice between reality and fantasy, risking their marriage and lives. Blending the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the enchanting essence of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, this darkly romantic narrative delves into love, lies, secrets, and the stories we create to endure.
