About the book: 2021 / My name is Rokaya - Princess of Darkain. My father decided to avoid another war in a cunning way - to send me to the bride parade for the Carrey prince Byaan, because King Oylar sleeps and dreams of how to get such a valuable princess as his daughter-in-law. It’s just that my task is not to pass the inspection, so that a calculating enemy cannot, using me, get sucked into the rich resources of Darkain. And to help in this difficult task will be: my old friend and mentor - the librarian Sachar, a particularly talented graduate of the Military School Lairran and his harmful teacher Sonrrain, who simply can’t stand me, but my heart beats faster when I see him. And that’s half the problem - one of the candidates was found dead before the examination, and the next one, apparently, will be me. But who is the killer? And, most importantly, who will win the show?
