In Where the Dead Brides Gather, a wedding night turns into a reckoning with the dead. Bata, a young girl plagued by relentless nightmares, wakes to find herself guarding her cousin’s bedroom door. By morning there will be a wedding, but only if the bride survives the attention of a ghost bride who once claimed the same groom.

When possession grants Bata the strength to confront the spirit, events spiral into disaster. A failed exorcism tears her from the living world and casts her into Ibaja La, a shadowed realm ruled by the restless dead. There, among abandoned brides and unfinished vows, Bata is given secret powers and a dangerous purpose.

Returned to the human world, she must learn to control what she has become while protecting her family from vengeful spirits that refuse to stay buried. Blending supernatural horror with intimate family drama, this novel explores love, loss, and the cost of confronting what the dead will not forgive.
