“On the day I was supposed to marry Gideon Glass, I heard my adopted sister moaning his name behind the doors of my bridal chamber. Cristal Burks had already stolen my father's love and claimed my healing potions as her own. Now she was carrying my fiancé's child. They expected me to endure it. After all, I was Spirit-less. The ash-gray scale on my brow told all of Thalassia that I could never grow a tail, breathe in the open sea, or hold power. To House Glass, a Ringless outcast like me should have been grateful for any husband-even a faithless one. Instead, I set the bridal doorway ablaze and exposed the lovers before the entire noble court. When Gideon's mother demanded that I accept the betrayal and finish the wedding, I tore off my veil and walked straight into the family's mourning hall. If House Glass still wanted a wedding, I would give them one. I claimed the bloodstained ring of Corbin Glass-Gideon's newly fallen uncle, the empire's most feared High Lord of Tides-and chose the only groom who could never betray me. A corpse. I married him before the entire court. But before the ashes of my ruined wedding could cool, my dead husband returned from the abyss-alive.”
