[BOOK ONE OF THE RIVALRY SERIES] ✨ • • • The kingdom of Asten is hosting the event of the century: IMPRESS, a deadly competition where six girls vie to captivate the dark and bloodthirsty prince. The prize? The crown of Asten and rule over its five regions-Agriassi, Iclia, Miriadan, Weimos, and the glittering capital, Aeralin. But failure isn't an option-because for the losers, death awaits. For Natalya Andrea Ascelyn, life has already been cruel. After living in poverty and losing her parents in a devastating village fire, she's forced to endure the torment of her spiteful Aunt Roslin. A glimmer of hope appears when her brother, a trusted guard of the prince, invites her to the royal castle. But Natalya's new life takes a treacherous turn when she's thrust into the IMPRESS event. While others compete for the prince's favour, Natalya's true mission is revenge. Determined to uncover who destroyed her family, she navigates a cutthroat world of dazzling banquets and shadowy conspiracies. Each trial pushes her to grow stronger, more cunning, and dangerously alluring. But the competition is more than she bargained for, filled with war, forbidden desires, blood-soaked betrayals, and the awakening of her mysterious abilities. She also learns that her enemies might be closer than she imagined. As alliances crumble and secrets surface, Natalya must decide how far she's willing to go for vengeance, and only one question remains: Will she survive the prince's deadly game long enough to find the perpetrator? One crown. Six girls. Only one will win-but will Natalya's thirst for revenge cost her everything? This story includes twisted violence, strong language and sexual content.

Cartea este publicată, iar pe site sunt postate doar primele capitole! ❝Alek obișnuia să zâmbească, acum aproape că nu-și descrețește niciodată fruntea. Zhavia zâmbește în stânga și în dreapta până te scoate din sărite, refuzând să se încrunte. Alek obișnuia să lupte, acum preferă să fie un simplu spectator. Zhavia luptă în fiecare zi, chiar și atunci când nu mai are pentru ce. Alek și-a consumat toată dragostea, iar acum i-a rămas doar ura. Zhavia iubește - răsăritul, orele târzii, ciocolata, copiii -, sau așa lasă impresia. Alek a avut inima frântă și, atunci când a lipit-o la loc, a încurcat bucățile. Zhavia n-a scăpat nici ea de o inimă frântă, dar a manevrat cu grijă bucățile atunci când le-a adunat. Și, cu toate astea, când sunt unul în preajma celuilalt, masca lui Alek cade, iar Zhavia își dă seama cât de multe fisuri i-au scăpat neobservate. Niciunul dintre ei nu vrea să fie văzut așa cum e cu adevărat, dar Alek spune lucruri care o fac pe Zhavia să se încrunte; iar Zhavia spune lucruri care-l fac pe Alek să zâmbească și poate că drumul de la cine naiba ești până la te iubesc nu e chiar atât de lung, dar cu siguranță e... denivelat.❞ Copyright © 2018 A.
