About the book: year / My father’s crime shattered our lives. My mother and I suddenly lost everything - our position in society, our fortune, our home and those we loved most in the world. Expelled from our native land, we are forced to drag out a miserable existence on the outskirts of the Illyrian capital, relying only on the mercy of our relatives. It seemed that it would always be like this - a broken heart, the shameful stigma of the daughter of an apostate, sidelong glances, whispers behind her back. But by royal decree I was given a second chance to return to my native southern region to try to revive my father’s work, restore the good name of our family and prove to all of Illyria that the hot fire of the Liedov cannot be put in chains. It can only burn brighter... in the right hands. "A completely independent one-volume book within the cycle "Secrets of Illyria""
