Just when everything seems to fall into place, Sevil Oderstein realizes a simple truth—the missing piece of the puzzle never ceases to be part of the whole picture. The continuation of the book “Anthurium.”

The captain of the emperor’s strongest legion is given a secret mission: to look after the illegitimate heir to the throne. He is obligated to protect her and teach her magic, despite his irritation and dissatisfaction with his role as a nanny. He simply needs to wait patiently until Cupid’s Day, after which all his problems will either disappear or escalate even further. Intercepting someone else’s Cupid’s arrow was definitely not part of his plans.

Deirea is a princess from a small kingdom. Darion is an emperor known for his power, his ruthlessness, and a reputation steeped in blood. She is sent to him in exchange for his aid.

But between hatred, something else ignites — dangerous. Forbidden. Darkness rises. To reclaim her crown, Selivanna must choose: power, vengeance… or the heart of a demon, a heart that was never meant to beat for her.

Four kingdoms, four gods, four crowns. Laínel is a flame among the ice, and that is why she was chosen to be given to Prince Cassius, heir of Valdria. But she has no intention of bowing her head. For her freedom, she is ready to risk everything—even if it means defying the throne itself. Yet Cassius is not the only one who craves power. His illegitimate brother, a shadow returning from exile carrying a curse, also lays claim to the crown. And he desires not only the throne, but Laínel herself. But is that truly what the elder prince wants? She must make a choice. One brother will lead her to power. The other—to the abyss. But which is which?
