The Forgotten Bride

THE FORGOTTEN BRIDE
by Jess Rae

She died once. Then she came back wrong.

Eris Vale wakes with missing years, a dead kingdom's secrets in her blood, and a husband who once buried her with his own hands. The world insists she is the same woman who was erased—remembered, rewritten, returned—but the truth refuses to stay still. Because something else came back with her.

Something that remembers the parts of her she doesn't.

In the fractured kingdom of Veylorn, memory is not history—it is power. Names can be stolen. Lives can be edited. Entire people can be removed from existence and still leave echoes behind. When those echoes begin to gather, the dead don't stay quiet for long.

As forgotten magic fractures reality, Eris is pulled into a war between what was lost and what refuses to remain buried. A hollow bride cycle stretching across generations begins to surface—linking her to women who wore her face long before she was born, and to a system built on sacrifice, memory, and control.

And at the center of it all is Sorian Draeve—the man who loved her, killed her, mourned her, and found her again… only to realize she may not be the only Eris to return.
