Haunting crossroads of marriage, death, and love.

Imagine an engagement unlike any other, where tradition mingles with the supernatural in a way that's mystifying and enchanting. "The Ghost Bride" isn't just a tale of the afterlife; it's a journey that blends romance with ghostly intrigue. For those captivated by otherworldly customs and a strong female lead threading her path through the extraordinary, stepping into Li Lan's shoes may be as enthralling as it is chilling.

Description

Seventeen-year-old Li Lan lives in 1890s Malaya with her quietly-ruined father, who returns one evening with a proposition - the fabulously wealthy Lim family want Li Lan to marry their son. The only problem is, he's dead. After a fateful visit to the Lim mansion, Li Lan finds herself haunted not only by her ghostly would-be suitor, but also her desire for the Lims' handsome new heir. At night she is drawn into the Chinese afterlife - a world of ghost cities, paper funeral offerings, monstrous bureaucracy and vengeful spirits. Enlisting the help of mysterious Er Lang (a dragon turned clerk) Li Lan must uncover the secrets of the ghost world - before she becomes trapped there forever.
