The old wounds in Odiffe's heart did not last. Time did not help either - fifteen long years. And already new enemies, like a cobra, raise their heads, chipping poisonous teeth. A new struggle for the throne, in which the stake is no less than life. No one can be trusted, neither enemies nor friends. The closest betray first. There are so many reasons to become a beast, so little human. Who will win - a demon or a person? Queen or mistress? Woman or mother?
