The Archmage of the Franglis Kingdom, Lord Brendвid, announces a selection of brides!
Witches are required: young without fail, beautiful by definition, possibly smart—and absolutely cunning. There is no survival for any other kind in the palace.
Only Mikaela absolutely doesn’t want to become the Archmage’s bride. And even though he’s good-looking and smart enough, the young dark witch has her own goal in this selection. And as you know, the goal justifies the means. So she has to twist and turn—to avoid being thrown out of the selection and, by accident, becoming a bride. What can be said… no court will ever justify such means!
