Nina the Starry Bride 9 features Nina, a girl plucked off the streets because she resembled a dead priestess. But is this a lucky break, or a new kind of curse? Winner of the Kodansha Manga Award, this fantasy shojo manga offers intertwining constellations of palace intrigue and perilous romance. It is perfect for fans of The Ancient Magus' Bride, The Apothecary Diaries, and Snow White With the Red Hair.

Nina had a rough start to life, being orphaned and resorting to stealing to survive, only to be abducted for her unusual lapis lazuli eyes. To her surprise, her captor, Prince Azure, decreed that she would lead the life of a princessβ€”specifically, that of the recently deceased princess-priestess, Alisha, who shared her unique eyes.

Despite her changing fortune, Nina is not ready to abandon her old life without a fight. Azure might just be the one to finally match her wits, but how much can she trust him? Furthermore, can she suppress the emotions developing in her heart, knowing she must eventually marry another?
