The bonds of love... The bonds of matrimony... The bonds between husband and wife... Let's face it-some bonds are made to be broken. Here, for the first time ever, are four stories from today's most provocative authors that take the classic idea of the "faerie tale wedding" and give it a swift kick in the bustle. “Can He Bake a Cherry Pie?” by Laurell K. Hamilton. “The Shadow of Mist” by Yasmine Galenorn. “The Tangleroot Palace” by Marjorie M. Liu. “The Wrong Bridegroom” by Sharon Shinn
A faerie tale wedding takes a dark turn when the bonds of love and matrimony are tested by forces that seek to break them.
This collection features four distinct stories that explore the complexities of relationships, particularly within the context of marriage and romantic bonds. Each narrative reimagines the traditional faerie tale wedding, infusing it with provocative themes and unexpected challenges. The protagonists must navigate the physical and logical constraints of worlds where love, duty, and darker influences collide, often leading to the breaking of established ties.
This anthology offers a collection of modern takes on faerie tale weddings, promising provocative explorations of love and commitment. The stories are expected to delve into the complexities of relationships, challenging traditional notions with supernatural elements and unexpected twists.
