Who is she, the unloved daughter of the king and the beloved pupil of Darkness, on whose hand the mark of the Chosen One of the Bright Prince was lit? This is what Lirrit from Norberg is going to find out, going to the capital of Astor to take part in the hated Bride Selection. After all, she does not need Prince Aydar from the Orvik dynasty at all, and the Dark One has no place in the Light Kingdom! But Lirrit did not even suspect that the game on the Selection would lead not to life, but to death, and her own heart would be so inappropriately involved in it. In the design of the cover, illustrations by the author of Perekrestochek were used.
