They exchanged gifts and stories and believed they would live happily ever after\u2014and in exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past.\n\nBut when Indigo learns that her estranged aunt is dying and the couple is forced to return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom will soon find himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor\u2019s extravagant rooms and musty halls, there lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo\u2019s dearest childhood friend who suddenly disappeared. As the house slowly reveals his wife\u2019s secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives.\n\nCombining the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the dreamy enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a spellbinding and darkly romantic page-turner about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.",
