Illusion Agency: Beloved for the Bastard
About the book
I am Adalinda Winley. I’m an illusionist mage, and I can craft any illusion you need. Want to impress someone important? Earn a business partner’s trust? Calm down a mother who dreams of marrying you off ASAP? We take on all kinds of requests! Everything was going smoothly—until Benjamin Stein knocked on the agency’s door. The king’s illegitimate brother. The shadow ruler of the kingdom. Brooding, sarcastic, and thoroughly unpleasant. He needed an illusion of love. And for some bizarre reason, he wanted me to be the one in love with him. Which is odd—considering the last time we met, he threatened to… kill me. Now I’m tangled in a string of strange events, assassination attempts, and investigations. And the worst part? I won’t be able to walk away until every last mystery is solved.

anna-shevchuk28.04.2026, 12:31The story is very interesting. However, after using an auto-translator from Russian, the text needs to be carefully proofread so that one doesn't have to guess that "Rose" means "storm" and "red divorces" means "red streaks."
natalka-senik16.04.2026, 21:19An incredibly adventurous and intricate story. Everything is so unexpected, which makes reading such an emotional, magical story so captivating. I’m thrilled with the book. My emotions are overwhelming. Thank you.

marina-morgun05.04.2026, 20:25When you play a couple in love, the main thing is not to actually fall in love. And it seems that's exactly what's happening...
olena-guida05.04.2026, 20:33Marina Morgun, Exactly!
katia05.04.2026, 19:01Linda works as an actress in an agency and helps people create the illusion of a loved one in front of partners or family. The girl doesn’t want to work for Benjamin Stone because he once exposed her, and she broke his artifact. However, Linda agrees for a quarter of the agency.
olena-guida05.04.2026, 19:09Katya, Well, greed is the root of all her problems)
svetlana-marcenko02.04.2026, 18:37Adalinda works in an interesting place—the "Illusion" agency. Everything would have been fine if Benjamin, the king's bastard, hadn't appeared. And he wished to see her as his bride. No matter how much she refused, for a quarter of the agency, she eventually agreed to play this role. Now she definitely won't be bored; adventures are already waiting for her. Thank you.

If I had known where I would fall, I would have laid down straw... But could the fearsome and powerful Benjamin Stein have known that... he would fall in love? And would he have turned to the very agency where Adalinda works?
olena-guida05.04.2026, 15:52Svitlana Hanchuk, Could it be exactly why he turned to...)))
oleksandra-kravcuk21.03.2026, 08:15The book is wonderful, as always. Some twists are predictable, while others are very unexpected.

I'm not sure if the promised riches will outweigh the possible risks. The stakes are really high.
olena-guida09.03.2026, 00:36Svitlana Hanchuk, Indeed so ❤️
anastasiia-xoruvata03.03.2026, 20:35Congratulations on Writer's Day and thank you for your work. I wish you inspiration and grateful readers))

As you sow, so shall you reap... Herens decided to pressure Linda, and well, for a quarter of the agency, she agreed to play the role of Benjamin Stein's beloved. But the contract is for six months, and anything can happen during that time.
olena-guida09.03.2026, 00:36Marina Morgun, And it will definitely happen ❤️

Adalinda somehow caught the interest of Benjamin, the king's bastard. And he wants only her to be his beloved. Even though she really didn’t want to play this role, the owner of the "Illusion" agency was veeery persuasive, even promising a quarter of the agency! Exciting adventures await Adalinda. Thank you.

Alelaide's desire to switch to office work doesn't quite align with the client's wishes, so she'll have to work "in the field" a bit longer.
alest07.01.2026, 00:16Adalinda works in an interesting place. And why did Benjamin insist on her specifically for the role of his beloved?
olena-guida05.02.2026, 19:49AlesT, Has reasons)))
nina-mixailovska-spicak07.01.2026, 16:11Incredible story of Adalinda..... thank you.
