The Bride Who Could Not Be Tamed

In the life before this one, Mia was married into Peacock Valley, where the bird women of the harem pulled her fur out until she died, and Willow Warner was married north to the Wolf King Ralph and froze to death in the ice country after fighting her way through it. Willow opens her eyes on the morning of the wedding procession, the same day over again. She changes the two matches around. Mia goes north to Ralph, who is blind, looks frightening and keeps no other women, and Willow rides into Peacock Valley in her sister's place. Bai Lian'er starts laying traps for her almost at once. Willow is a honey badger, no poison works on her, and nothing in the valley matches her strength, so she hits back. She puts down the bird women competing for the Peacock King's favor, brings the eagle tribe's fighters over to her, and takes the peacock clan off its spending and its idleness. She has a line built against the beast tide and breaks the hyena army in one battle, and after that the valley answers to her. In the north, Mia looks after Ralph and his sight comes back. An envoy of the beast god arrives in Peacock Valley to call Willow to account.
