Hide-and-Seek with the Shadow
About the book
I had never placed passion above duty. I always knew that my hand was betrothed to the Crown Prince, and my destiny was to ascend the imperial throne alongside a sovereign husband. And I cannot say that the prospect troubled me in the slightest. But then came a single dance. A single glance into eyes as black as the deepest abyss. And just like that… I no longer belonged to myself. The tragedy, however, is that I do not belong to my fiancé. I belong to a man who remains utterly indifferent to me. What would a well-bred Essa have done in my stead? Endured and forgotten. What did I do? I seduced him. I humiliated him. And then, I fled. Yet, who was I to think he would let such an affront go unpunished? It all began on the day His Highness the Crown Prince arrived for the festivities in

Everything in life has to be paid for...( Little One will show us everything if Rai lets her in... Because he did this only for her... For her sake, he is here... Follows like a shadow step by step, protects... Thank you, Olena❤️

What is the price of Gast's return? Maybe this is just the reason to talk openly with each other? They can see for themselves that anything can happen. Enough running away from each other and from themselves.

svitlana-korx09.03.2026, 07:34Wow, a beacon, like on a loved one. And he revived Hasta, but at what cost.
svetlana-marcenko05.03.2026, 17:19Rianna doesn't want to marry the prince, and to avoid the engagement announcement, she invites Attahar to a passionate dance. And he became interested in her. When she realized what she had done and that because of her, Attahar has now turned from a friend into an enemy of the prince, she decided to run away from home altogether, and to a very dangerous place at that. I hope nothing bad happens to her there. Thank you.
valentina-lishhuk05.03.2026, 11:08To be forced into marriage with the crown prince is not about Riana. Her heart races near the crown prince's friend, Reitar. But it's impossible. She invites Reitar to a passionate dance, and that’s a mistake. Her brother helps her escape. A new life full of danger and adventure begins for her.
