About the book: year / From early childhood I knew that when I grew up, my body would be given to the Undead. And if she doesn’t choose him, she will brutally kill me. But what frightened me much more was the prospect that she would choose him. I was too bright for this world. That's what everyone who saw me said. Too bright is the highest compliment of all in the kingdom of Cramton. There were still many beautiful ones in our kingdom, but only a few bright ones. And they all received gray tickets sooner or later.
