About the book

The life of Hilara Kar’yen is simple and predictable. She follows traditions, lives with her father, and has a fiancé chosen by the Winds. It seems that nothing could change her ordinary yet serene future. Nothing—except her father’s death. And the debtor’s bracelet. The bracelet that will lead her to a castle—to a man with eyes as black as the night itself. To a man from the lineage she was taught to fear and despise. Just a simple deal: live in the castle, help out, take care of the sick brother—and the debt will be gone. Two turns of the Winds—and the girl will be free to return home. But... will she?

    Such a beautiful story... Well, is the heroine out of her mind?

    LilianaWell... both the story and the heroine are exactly as they were intended, this is primarily a book about magic that affects everyone and everything, and to understand that, you need to read it to the end. But usually, when I don’t like the plot or the characters, I close such a book for good, realizing that it’s just not for me) Thanks for the feedback)❤️

    This is something incredible!!! I only slept a few hours!!!! It was simply impossible to tear myself away, just like with your other works! I don’t know, it’s truly some kind of magic of yours - to so masterfully paint another reality, events, and characters with words! But the most interesting thing for me is that your works are like a drug - impossible to put down! Such a dynamic pace of events constantly keeps me on edge and gives me extraordinary "azure" ☺️ emotions! An overwhelming release of endorphins from this story! I want to find out what is hidden in that shabatorka and whether Lora will be able to honestly admit her feelings to herself, because Rorh will (I’m sure of it!) Thank you, a wonderful story❤️

    Olena FandeichevaSincerely thank you for your warm and detailed feedback! I'm glad you liked the first book! I'm not sure if your impression will remain the same in the future, as the story is quite dark, and the final revelations are a long way off, but I can only hope that you will enjoy it.❤️)

    Wow! That's what I can say! It's so interesting that it somehow feels awkward to write simple words. Hmm... I'm glad that this is the beginning of a trilogy, as I understand it. And that two books are already purchased, so there will still be time to enjoy the continuation. Sincerely grateful.

    This is wonderful! Incredible! I want to see this book published, and maybe even adapted into a film (that moment with the uniting wind, with a reference to the scene at the very beginning, would look incredible in a movie). I really like your writing style. It’s as if someone is telling a story completely without a one-sided perspective, with philosophical personal hints and references (I even wanted to save the paragraph about how there are none so blind as adults?). It seems to me, dear author, that you are a very deep and wise person. I really fell in love with the heroine. Precisely for this fiery character and the absence of traumas or fears towards the hero. The hero often annoyed me with his attraction to the heroine, so I won’t add him to my list of book boyfriends? I’m sincerely amazed at how interesting and multifaceted the story is. How many mysteries and plot threads come together into a single line that is exciting to unravel (instead of other characters living their own lives unrelated to the main plot of the book, just adding volume). Special thanks for so many pages and large, rich chapters. I’m thrilled. I’m continuing to read the other parts. I wish you inspiration and grateful readers. You’ve created a masterpiece.

    Mariya PismennaSincerely thank you for such a wonderful, detailed review! I’m glad that you saw this story in this way and that it truly resonated with you – it means everything was not written in vain. Honestly, I didn’t aim to create characters that everyone would necessarily like; I wanted to create "real" ones, those who make mistakes, who are not perfect, who have their own truth. I wanted the fantasy to resemble the real world, even if it’s quite dark and gloomy. References are everything to us)❤️

    NastyukhaPerhaps they are similar, AI draws some kind of generalization, often it's hard to get different faces) We'll see, maybe I'll change it over time)❤️)))

    I read it with pleasure! Moving on to the second part. One thing really bothered both my eyes and my mind: in what sense is the word "shabaturka" used? Is it a box? And what about "deshchytsia"? In my understanding, and according to the dictionary ;) , "deshchytsia" refers to something small. But in the context of the text, this meaning doesn’t fit. Overall, the book is great, just like all the previous books by the author! Thank you for the work and for the inspiration in your creativity!!!!

    LikamilaI'm not a philologist either) Perhaps you misunderstood me, the text is large, I edit it in parts, sometimes I just add or remove something directly on the site, so I don’t always remember where exactly a word was used) Yesterday I kept reading and reading about that "deshchytsia," I’m not even sure, it seems to have a meaning like a trifle, something like that) From this perspective, I was asking you to give an example. Because if you noticed it, maybe it would be appropriate to change something there) In any case, thank you for your feedback and for reading my stories!❤️)))
