A duology. They called me Coal. I’m a runaway girl from a provincial coal-mining town. I used to be that—until one not-so-perfect day in my life, he burst in: Jacob Fox. The best warrior, the director of a closed academy.
He gave me a chance, and I didn’t waste it. Let more enemies appear every day, and troubles keep pouring on my head. And love will also unexpectedly arrive. Nothing—I’ll handle it. I won’t just be a student—I'll be a student of special assignment. Now I’m the best student of a closed academy, an experienced warrior. And my adventures are just beginning.
The Council arranged a selection of brides for the young king of Veloria, and I’m going to have to take part in it—as bait for enemies and as an observer. Luckily, winning the contest isn’t part of the assignment.
