A marked hybrid bride marries an Alpha she does not know, bonds by fate in a hot spring, and conceals her identity while an impostor threatens her place.
Bella enters an arranged marriage with Alpha Edward bearing visible marks of past mistreatment, her hybrid blood making her a bargaining chip rather than a chosen wife. A primal bond forms between them at a secluded hot spring before either learns the other's identity, tying their fates together in silence. She keeps her true self hidden while a false rival schemes to take her place, leaving Edward drawn to a mate he cannot recognize. His growing obsession deepens even as her secret and his devotion move in opposite directions.
