About the book

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?

    The priest said that her magic must be pure, and Ronria said it must be tainted... Was Ronria lying? Then, what was that ritual?

    How I hate parents who bring children into this world and then, when something goes wrong with upbringing, blame the child for it. Did the child ask to be brought here? No. So, it's the parents' problem and their fault if something went wrong, not the child's.

    How sweet! Parents once couldn't restrain something in their pants, and now the children have to pay for it! Yet, there's so much pomp in their words!

    Alina SkinteiOf course, it's not about anything! Kasiy rightly told his father.

    Now it's clear: so, Ksariel is also a salvation for her. It's just that she's been driven to a state where she might refuse any salvation. Oh, these men!

    If Ksariel knew about the prophecy and that Lainel could be saved by marriage and having a child, then why did he help to avoid it?

    Lara RosaHe was in love with her, and there was a struggle within him: I want to be with her, and I don’t want to drag her into the whirl of prophecy events.

    Interesting: is this revenge for the father's death? Or does Xariel really pose a threat?
