About this title

Synopsis

Every year, the town celebrates Groundhog Day as harmless tradition. Every year, winter lingers just a little too long. And every year, no one asks why.

Chosen as the ceremonial "bride" for the annual ritual, a young woman believes she is participating in symbolic folklore-until the groundhog stops at her feet and refuses to move. Beneath the snow-covered hill, ancient vows stir, bones remember, and a groom crowned in frost awakens from centuries of waiting.

What begins as ritual becomes courtship. What becomes courtship turns into a contract written on flesh, heartbeat, and season. As desire and dread entwine, she discovers the truth buried beneath the altar stone: winter does not end by chance. It is ruled.

Darkly romantic, psychologically twisted, and seductively eerie, The Groundhog's Bride: A Dark Valentine's Tale reimagines love as power, marriage as dominion, and devotion as something far more dangerous than death. This is not a story where spring saves the day-but one where winter is finally chosen.

For readers who crave gothic romance, folkloric horror, and stories where love does not redeem, but transforms.
