“A Witch for the Lord Chancellor” is Dana Danberg’s novel, the first book in the “Marenti-no Brides” cycle, detective fantasy and romantic fantasy genres. For modest L еtiсia Sorano, a graduate of a boarding school for bright witches, there was a dream—and to make it come true, all she needed was to pass her exams well and find money. With the first part there are no problems, but with the second everything is much harder, even though the girl has a plan. And then, unexpectedly, the Emperor himself interferes: he announces a selection of brides for his nephew and the most terrible man in the Empire. Letitia must be there, and excuses are not accepted. Will she be able to take advantage of the situation and turn the hateful contest to her advantage, or will she face the unenviable fate of a living battery for the Lord Chancellor?
