About the book: year / For most people, the New Year is associated with a Christmas tree, Olivier and gifts. But for lonely, dreamy girls, this is the time to tell fortunes about their betrothed. That is why Arina did not refuse the strange old lady and risked drawing a card with the image of a man destined for her by fate. The card promised Arina neither a prince nor a king, but the whole Emperor. The girl laughed and forgot. And on New Year’s Eve, fighting off yet another suitor suggested by a good friend, I performed a ceremony for fun and ended up in someone else’s bedroom. Outside the window there is the sun, palm trees and green lawns, and in front of the face is the promised, but very evil Emperor.
