The Bride of the Sunflower

The sun hasn’t shone in over two months, and the price to bring it back is blood.

When a mysterious cloud cover swallows her small farming village, sixteen-year-old Theodora Rayns watches crops fail, neighbors starve, and her father slowly break under the pressure of the desperate town council. Once a priest, now a hollowed-out man clinging to scraps of faith, he is seen as the village's last connection to God.

Determined to protect him, Theodora sets out to confront the elders herself. But on the road, she meets a strange man in black with an unsettling smile and a dangerous secret. Days later, he appears in the village calling himself the Sunflower Man. He claims to have the power to clear the skies and bring back the sun.

His price is simple. He wants a bride. A young one. A pure one. He already has a name in mind.

Dragged from her home and forced into a twisted marriage, Theodora must fight to escape before she becomes the next offering to whatever dark force hides behind the Sunflower Man’s grin.

A chilling tale of sacrifice, survival, and the terrifying cost of sunlight. Perfect for readers who love folk horror, eerie villages, and girls who refuse to be victims.
