About the book: 2023 / Florence Goldfinch is young and careful. Her fate is predetermined by her guardian: forced marriage or a quiet life in the monastery of St. Magdalene. But there is a secret that can be revealed at the most inopportune moment...Ronan Macallan values ​​a kind heart and justice. His life is dedicated to serving the law: magic cannot be used to harm people and the world. But what will happen if one day he has to protect the one who killed a person with magic?.. From the author There are no fairies, no talking cats, no prophetic dreams, continuous dinners, picnics, conversations, gossip and a feeling of stuffiness. Oh, I hope I managed to convey this isolation of a small girlish world, in which sometimes fresh air is felt. Then my favorite gothic began - and it became easier. The characters in “The Bride” are not always clear-cut. Perhaps only the antagonist turned out to be direct and simple. All the others will one way or another exhibit different properties and show different sides. I like to imagine what determines our actions that harm us or the world, and I like to write stories about it. Who is this book for? For fans of romantic fantasy. For those who want to have a book with a magical cover and beautiful illustrations on their shelf. For those who want to read a fascinating book by a Russian-language author.
