Mila turned out to be a hostage of circumstances. They framed her, slandered her—and now she faces death for a crime she didn’t commit. But a sudden attraction between the accused and her executioner breaks the course of events. Mila is offered the role of a mistress in exchange for freedom—a humiliating role enslaved for carnal pleasures. In another situation, she would choose punishment, but the blazing mutual passion with the kingdom’s richest miaro—Tamin Shantare, the handsome charmer—shatters all her convictions, pushes her into the arms of vice, and makes her love a true monster. Only this is just the beginning of everything fate has in store for her. Very soon Mila will be convinced that true hell awaits her ahead. When a third player enters the game—the guardian of Tamin and the king’s own brother, who determined the girl’s fate long before she was born.
