The Tribute Bride

Angel thought the world would be hers to explore when she turned twenty. She can finally be free from the gilded cage her overprotective father built for her. But she was mistaken! Her 20th birthday marked the day she lost everything, including the freedom she so desperately craved. It was the day she fell into the hands of her father's enemy, to atone for his sins. Leoric has meticulously planned his revenge for many years. When that day came, he thought he had everything under control. The man who killed his father was behind bars, and the empire he painstakingly built fell into his hands ... including his only daughter. He planned to force his new bride to entertain his friends on their wedding night. That should force her to a status lower than an escort, which should humiliate her and shame her father. That should usher her into hell. His perfect plan of revenge was ruined by a mysterious mishap. They found themselves stranded in a desert in an unfamiliar world after their yacht was sucked into a vortex. Later, they discovered that they were in a parallel universe ruled by dark forces. The only way to return is to offer a tribute to the country's supreme leader—a virgin bride! Where would they get a virgin? Wait, isn't Angel a virgin? As Leoric and his companions traveled across the treacherous landscapes of the enigmatic Astralis, he found himself falling for his wife, who seemed to have transformed after falling into the sea on their wedding night. On a starry night on top of the peak of Mount Anabu, Leoric gazed tenderly at his wife, who looked ethereal, radiated a mystical aura, and whispered... "To hell with the supreme leader and going back. You can only be mine! Let us rule Astralis!"

Author's Notes

"This is my third novel, and it's my first attempt at writing a fantasy-themed romance. The story is purely fictional, and all the names and places described in it are based on my imagination. Any resemblance to actual names and places is purely coincidental."

A little spoiler for you...

My book offers a fresh idea. It is fast-paced. The setting starts in the secular world, and just when you think that it is the typical billionaire romance of revenge that turns into endless doting and pampering, you will be transported into a fantasy world of dark forces where the male lead, who is just a human and without superpowers, fights against his powerful enemies using his human skills and wit. 

 

The female lead, naive and weak at the start, is not portrayed as disgustingly useless but can fight in her little way. 

 

This author also introduced the idea of transmigration in this book. It is not the usual transmigration story; rather, it is the fusion of two souls—two persons who grew up in two different worlds with different upbringings, one being overly protected while the other constantly braving dangers to stay alive. 

 

The tragic death of the supporting female character (Tala) awakened the dormant power within the female lead (Angel). But in fact, Tala did not die. It was only her physical body that died. Her soul fused with Angel and became her power! 

 

The book also depicts a love triangle between the female lead and two male leads. One love is borne out of hate and revenge, while the other is borne out of a strong bond of friendship and trust formed from childhood and spanning over a decade. 

 

You will not know who the female lead eventually ends up with until the last few chapters. You can share your thoughts as to who will be the victorious ML in the end.

Here are some terms you need to understand.

Astralis: a parallel world ruled by the people who have the power to command inanimate objects. 

Phari: is an elite male guardian of Astralis. He is an expert in martial arts and has mastered the use of the key mystical power called mana. King Toren's ancestors trained them to protect the country's supreme leader, the legitimate heir to the throne.

Hara - Female counterpart of Phari.

Lakan - is a Phari who achieved the highest cultivation level, is the best guardian, and is the bravest warrior. He is the most powerful among the Pharis.

Bathala - The transcendent, supreme God, the originator and ruler of the Astralis.
