Hatori Chise has lived a life full of neglect and abuse, devoid of anything resembling love. Far from the warmth of family, she has had her share of troubles and pitfalls. Just when all hope seems lost, a fateful encounter awaits her. When a man with the head of a beast, wielding strange powers, obtains her through a slave auction, Chise's life will never be the same again.

Review of "The ancient magus' bride" on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Just couldn’t get past the normalization of the teenaged protagonist being bought by the magus at a slave auction to be his apprentice/wife and how that was treated as just kind of “a weird thing that happened but hey he’s a real nice guy” instead of the actual horrible practice it is.

Terrible foundation for what I’m assuming is going to be a slow romance between the centuries old cattle skull wizard and his high school slave bride.
