About the book: 2017 / Is it weakness to dream of a life of luxury? Is it shameful to give yourself to those who are ready to shower you with jewelry and bring you into the world? Or is it better to work honestly among the “lower classes” and get paid a pittance? And Katarina made her choice. She wanted to live in a fairy tale and was ready to pay for it with her body. Her dream came true exactly... but the young, ambitious Katya did not heed the warnings that in her situation she could not even think about love. And even more so, you shouldn’t fall in love with someone who will in the future become the ruler of an entire empire. The story is independent. Belongs to the Carilian cycle.
