A LOVE-AND-ADVENTURE NOVEL WITH A CASINO HOOK
To leave, so as to save what matters most?..
In a glittering, deceptively beautiful casino world, the gifted violinist Nara works as a croupier and possesses dangerous skill—she knows how to send the ball so that it stops exactly where it needs to. But one night overturns her life: her idol, the rock musician Archangel, in a drunken delirium and gambling frenzy, loses an priceless guitar. Crushed by guilt, Nara makes a desperate choice—she kidnaps the instrument and the money from the casino’s formidable owner. Now she and Archangel are fugitives, racing through cities and borders toward faraway India.
Armenia, Georgia, Israel, Turkey—their journey turns into a survival dash, where after every turn there are chases, jealousy, and bets that determine everything. Amid risk and constant threat, a feeling is born that can heal old wounds.
Will Nara and Archangel manage to escape the trap set by their pursuers and find their true “paradise”?
Today it’s so easy to catch the “success virus.” But what truly makes a person happy? Money? Achievements? Fame?
Behind the dynamic story lies a subtle psychological drama about guilt and redemption, about forgiveness and the difficult return to oneself.
And only by walking this path to the end do you understand: paradise is not marked on any map.
But it does exist.
