Published under TOKYOPOP's LoveLove imprint, this 13+ series begins with betrayal and blooms into something unexpected.
Â
Lady Wisteria has only ever wanted one thing: to be worthy of Lord Bright, the man she loves with her entire heart. She's trained herself in magic, cultivated every skill, all in hopes of earning his love in return.
Â
Then Bright asks her to die.
Â
When Wisteria's younger sister Rosalie is chosen to enter the Predawn Realm—a cursed dimension from which no guardian ever returns—Bright begs Wisteria to take her place. Rosalie is too precious. Too delicate. But Wisteria? Wisteria is powerful, skilled, resistant to the sinister miasma that threatens their world. She could survive. She could endure.
Â
And so, for love, Wisteria goes.
Â
Armed with the sacred sword Sartis, she enters the Predawn Realm and resigns herself to an eternity alone. More than twenty years pass in that twilight world.
Â
Then a stranger appears—a man with a familiar face who demands the sword and challenges everything Wisteria thought she knew. He looks like Bright. But that's impossible... isn't it?
Â
The Person I Loved Asked Me to Die in My Sister's Stead is a story about the cruelty of love—and whether it's ever too late for redemption.
