Nina the Starry Bride 12 explores the intriguing tale of Nina, who was 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 features intertwining constellations of palace intrigue and perilous romance, 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, orphaned and stealing to survive, only to be abducted for her unusual lapis lazuli eyes. To her surprise, her captor, Prince Azure, ordained that she would live the life of a princess... specifically, that of the recently deceased princess-priestess, Alisha, who had her same eyes.

Despite her changing fortune, Nina won't give up her old life without a fight. Azure might just be the one to finally match her wits, but how much can she trust him? And can she stop the feelings budding in her heart, knowing she must eventually marry another...?
