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

It looks like the fight will be uneven... judging by everything... And the reason is always power or money... Emotions are overwhelming! Thank you ❤️
olena-guida18.02.2026, 01:36Halyna Shchyrba, Likewise ❤️

No matter what kind of world it is, there are always dissatisfied people. Either the leadership is wrong, or someone has more rights. According to the dissatisfied, that is. And they will find reasons to nitpick at Riana too. And they’re on a raid, no less. Plus, they have a special task. Thank you for the update, and I’m looking forward to the continuation!

I must wish the five success! It's already so difficult, and then there's intuition... it almost never fails (( And those internal conflicts won't lead to anything good. The eternal struggle for power... Attahar is a thorn in many people's sides... But in his hands lies power... the chance to fix the world... Thank you ❄️❤️❄️

iuliia-girina15.02.2026, 11:31Riana does not want to live the life that has been prepared for her as a princess, to be just an incubator and to have no right to make her own decisions. After she escaped to one of the most terrifying places, her life changed dramatically.
