About the book: 2021 / Idira is the youngest daughter of the head of the Durham vampire clan. As soon as she turned seventeen, her father decided to marry the girl off. It seems to be not fatal, although it is too early, and the groom is a dark lord from an ancient aristocratic family. He is only fifteen years older than Idira and even handsome. Everything would be fine if it were not for a small peculiarity of the bride, because of which she can hardly tolerate other people’s touches. Idira understands that it is unlikely that she will be able to avoid marriage: the dark ones will not let go of theirs. But there is one way to delay the ritual for twelve years - to become an adept of the Art of Death school. After such a long period of time, the groom might change his mind, right? There's only one small thing left to do: persuade Lord Ellohar to accept her into the school. Available: #runaway_bride#not_reconciled_groom#mental_magic#adventuresand, of course,#loveFree.
