The Count is Greedy
A dark fantasy novel!
In the town of Alderdeen, there rules a count; a count who is greedy for wives.
The longest record for a woman surviving marriage to Count Gristen Ballentine is three-hundred days. The shortest: the wedding night. After years of watching their friends and neighbors be selected by Ballentine and never return, two sisters, Lafinia and Marian, realize that no one is going to stop him.
Lafinia is an elf. She loves bringing things back from the dead, which is a problem, because in Alderdeen, magic is banned.
Marian is half an elf. She loves her sister Lafinia more than anything in the world, which is a problem, because Lafinia was just chosen to be Ballentine’s wife next.
