Marriage of convenience is a common thing among the aristocrats of Ectheria, but the wedding of Lady Lickmiris Derlinger with a man sentenced to death for a brutal murder must remain a secret from society. It is not surprising, because no one knows the sweet secret of the noble family: an ancient curse imposed on all the women of the family takes the lives of their suitors. An excellent way out is to find a suicide bomber and ransom him from the executioner right from the scaffold, so that the unfortunate person, without knowing it, takes the fatal blow of fate upon himself, and only then enter into a new marriage, free from the spells of dark magic. But unexpectedly, everything did not go according to plan; the newly-made husband remained alive and laid claim to his legal wife. Now the young lady Likmiris will have to leave her parents and go with her husband to an old estate far from the capital. The new home is fraught with many dangers; to stay alive and find love, you need not only to defeat the curse, but also to discover a terrible secret.
