A missing husband. A reality dating experiment. A marriage built by an algorithm. I wake up to find my husband gone. Not my real husband. My algorithmic husband. The man I was matched with on a high-stakes reality dating show, where strangers marry at first meeting, live together for thirty days, and compete for life-changing prize money—all under constant surveillance.

Just a vanished groom...

I'm Thane Stone, a simple man that wants nothing more than to put down a few crops in the plot of land I purchased at the edge of town. My dream might very well have come true were it not for what I found in the forest. It called to me, woke something buried deep within, a bloodline that raises far more questions than it answers. So, I suppose I'm a bastard with royal blood? To be frank, I'm not sure I give a damn. For now, I'd settle for being left alone with my dog, and maybe save some space for a wife one day. My bloodline's powers are a nice touch though.
