Virgin Bride for the Krampus: A Dark Christmas Monster Romance Novella (Devoted Monsters #2)
Manon Van Daal
A Melungeon girl condemned as a witch.
A winter demon who claims what men tried to destroy.
A sacrifice that becomes a coronation.
Appalachia, 1724.
Nineteen-year-old Abigail Thorne has survived a lifetime of being othered—dark hair, olive skin, ice-blue eyes, and the whispered accusation carried by her mother’s Melungeon. In Hollow Creek, difference is sin, and girls like Abigail are always one step away from punishment.
When the powerful son of a settler attacks her and blames her for it, the elders do what they’ve always done with inconvenient women.
They offer her to the Krampus.
Left alone in the frozen forest with bells tied to her wrists and judgment hanging in the air, Abigail expects to die screaming. Instead, the horned demon of winter finds her shaking, innocent—and unmistakably his.
The Krampus knows old magic.
Older justice.
And the truth of what men call corruption.
He carries her to his mountain lair.
He warms her frozen body.
He teaches her how to survive the dark.
And when he claims her, it is not as a victim—but as a chosen bride.
With every careful touch, every lesson in hunger and power, something ancient begins to wake in Abigail’s blood. Magic her grandmother once whispered about in secret. Magic strong enough to freeze rivers, call storms, and reshape a woman into something feared.
Something worshipped.
When Abigail returns to Hollow Creek, she is no longer meek.
No longer human.
No longer alone.
She walks with winter at her heels and a monster at her side—and this time, judgment belongs to her.
A Virgin Bride for the Krampus is a dark, sensual monster romance steeped in Appalachian folklore, old gods, and brutal justice. A high-heat novella about reclamation, devotion, and the women who refuse to die the way men demand.
