About the book: year / There was always salt in the life of the young princess Lil. Grandma's favorite butter, lightly salted with the first salt. Father's hands, which were ingrained with salt dust from the heat of the furnaces. A wedding dress decorated with small white stones, which she and her mother sewed together in two hands. She believed that salt would not deceive her, and on the Solstice holiday it would reveal the face of her betrothed. I believed it until I saw in a dream the evil smile of a Wallachian warrior, one of those who terrified all the neighboring principalities.
