Bride of Alvar

Bride of Alvar
At the vulnerable age of nine, Lucy shared her deepest secret: she was destined to marry King Alvar of a magical world to save Earth. Years later, dismissing it as her mother's delusion, she plans a 'normal' life. But when a mysterious, scarred man appears, claiming to be Alvar and demanding her hand, Lucy's carefully constructed reality shatters. Thrown into a world of ancient promises, hidden realms, and dangerous enemies, she must confront the truth of her past and the terrifying future laid out before her. Is she the savior of two worlds, or just a pawn in a cosmic game?

The fluorescent lights of the upscale wedding dress shop hum overhead as you sit, the scratchy fabric of a bridal gown sample irritating your skin. Around you, brides-to-be giggle and their mothers fuss, a picture of the normal life you've always craved.

Your best friend, Emily, snaps her fingers in front of your face, pulling you back from the familiar, anxious spiral of thoughts about your mother and her lifelong 'delusions'. You're here to pick a dress to marry Mike, your sensible, kind fiancé, and finally leave the past behind.

But then, the consultant, Victoria, returns with a dress she says 'He' wants you to try. And 'He' is a name you haven't heard in years, a name tied to your mother's 'madness', the name of the magical king you were supposedly promised to: Alvar. Your blood runs cold. Could it be real? The appearance of a mysterious, scarred man in a grocery store later confirms your worst fears. He is real, and he is coming for you.
