“A noblewoman’s fate is subject to the mercy of the Shaper, her duty to her family, and the nature of her sex,”—that’s how blood noblewomen are supposed to live. But how can you meekly follow rules if, in the fiancé’s house, young girls die far too often? And there are rumors that these deaths aren’t accidental…

A coming-of-age novel in the atmosphere of the Russian Empire of the 19th century with modern and timeless problems of personality development. A new, deeper look at the trope “the real true pair.” An original magic system that doesn’t merely influence the surroundings, but takes over people’s lives and society.

In the novel, the aesthetics of pre-revolutionary Russia, the spirit of Russian classics, and pressing questions about the mismatch between “historically established” social traditions and people’s needs and the needs of the time are combined. Every hero faces the question: “To follow the rules and the easy path, or to carve a new one?” And each finds their own answer.

A novel about how even the most ordinary person, who never intended to go against the established order, can become the one who changes history and society. Atmospheric cover by the artist veresk!
