About the book: 2024 / After the death of my mother, my life changed. The father swore that he could never love again, but he met Merelda, and now she is the center of his Universe. And I have to endure the cruel words of the new family... and cruel actions. After all, my stepmother and her precious sons are turning my life into a living hell. And when my father is dying, and I am on the verge of an unwanted marriage, I decide to take fate into my own hands. To save my father, I will have to make a deal with the mysterious Merchant. In case of failure I'm waiting for marriage and, most likely, death at the hands of a sadistic husband. If successful, my father will live... feeding on my strength, while I spend my last days next to the Merchant. One way or another, my fate will be the result of my choice. Or not?
