Synopsis of The Barbarian’s Bride

The English version of the manga is published by Seven Seas Entertainment and they’ve boiled down the saga to its essence. The tale runs around Serafina de Lavillant, celebrated as the mightiest female knight in the West. She is delegated with the mission of taming the wild tribes from the East. However, when she suffers a crushing defeat and is captured and imprisoned alive, she fears the worst kind of torture and chooses death instead.

Much to her astonishment, instead of being subjected to brutal violence, she gets a marriage proposal from the tribe leader. The plot then unfurls as she grapples with what's to come - will she be oppressed in a cruel, forced marriage, or will she unravel that the tribes are not as primitive and ruthless as she'd been told?
