About the book: year / What could be simpler and more familiar? You are the emperor's daughter. You are young and beautiful. Your home is a palace, huge and impregnable. Your retinue idolizes you... They idolize you. Yesterday. And tomorrow the salt storms of Espenanzo await you. And someone else's castle under a gray-green banner. And your duty will turn against you, and your loyal subjects will want your blood! And the blue Azrak diamonds will turn to dust in your hands... And you will only have to wonder: you must survive... or just learn another lesson?
