Abandoned by her ruthless father and left to die in a frozen palace, Princess Abril survives years of neglect through sheer will. On her fifteenth birthday, she’s suddenly summoned, dressed like a bride, and sent to the throne room. But why now? Is she about to be sacrificed in a royal marriage or used in a far darker scheme?
“Then we can hold the naming ceremony when we return; I’ll grant you lands and your title.” “That sounds good to me.” “Even if you’re named duke, you can continue living in the palace; you don’t have to move out.” “No, I want to show everyone that I’m serious about being a duke. I’m going…
Alessandro knew this perfectly well, so he didn’t complain and thanked the priest for hosting them. When they were alone, Abril opened the window just in time to see the last rays of the sun illuminating the mountains. Alessandro hugged her from behind and said, “This place isn’t very comfortable, but we won’t be here…
“Yes, she was.” Alessandro hated the idea of having to leave Abril alone, but he had some matters to attend to and couldn’t stay with her all day. He gave her a kiss and said, “I hate having to leave you alone.” “I’ll be fine. I’ll ask Cassian to accompany me.” “Cassian won’t be able…
With a soft and sweet voice, Abril said to them. “The food is good, there’s nothing wrong with it.” The children took the skewers with the meat and immediately put it in their mouths; they had been orphaned two months ago, and since their parents had died, they had been sleeping on the streets because…

Otis, seeing they were at the temple, asked. “Will you leave us here?” “Of course not, but I’m staying here. Come on.” The children followed Abril, and as they walked through…
“Hmm… that depends.” “On what?” The Secret of tight’s Magic “How much do you want to know about her?” “I want to know who she really was and where she came from.” “I could have that before the end of the day, but you’ll need to give an advance so I can mobilize my men.”…
“Wizards usually use wind, fire, or earth magic, but there are more types of magic.” “I already know that there’s also healing magic and the kind wizards used to create magical instruments, “There’s also light magic.” Cassian had heard of light magic before, the magic that Abril possessed, he asked. “Light magic?” The Secret of…
Although Cassian hadn’t obtained the information he was seeking, he found something else that was just as valuable: the secret behind the magic of light. Cassian bid farewell to Barto and approached Maya’s table, saying, “I’ll come back another day for you to read that book to me.” “Make sure to bring enough money next…
“I suppose that’s a good reason.” “I really don’t understand why King Venobich gave you his daughter; he must have known about her lineage.” “I think he sent her here to die. By sending her, he didn’t want to seal peace, but war. He wanted her to be the reason to start a war again.”…
