Penelope Everly is a girl claimed by Death. He stalks her from the shadows, watching and waiting. But now that she’s becoming a young woman, her parents have betrothed her to someone against her will in order to save their dwindling family fortune.

Victor Van Daught has no interest in marriage or remaining in the town he grew up in to take over the family business. He is a man of science and discovery—an aspiring entomologist. But when he meets Penelope Everly he’s immediately enchanted by her.

The young couple enter the halls of Corvus University together, given a semester to solidify their betrothal. But the school holds more secrets than scholars, and when students start disappearing, Penelope and Victor begin to fear that Death has come to claim his bride.

Death’s Bride is a gothic Corpse Bride inspired folktale retelling with dark academia and romantic horror vibes.
