Service at the border with the Great Swamp isn’t exactly honey, but Alena Emanova liked it there. And when the will of the head of the Order of Robbers forced her to come to the prince’s palace, her previous dangerous but simple life was only something to dream about. This is where the real swamp is! And the fact that they intend to catch a criminal with Alena as bait is the smaller of the troubles. Much worse is the interest of the prince’s heir, the hostility of the girls from the prince’s retinue, and the prickly gaze of the first prince-warrior Oleg Rubtsov, nicknamed Amber-Eyed. With the warlord, you’d probably have the hardest time. You’re used to danger, Alena—but try dealing with your own heart!
