A story of a young woman, struggling with self-image and understandings. Erika is not the usual girl of our modern times- she cannot help falling in the trap of overthinking, although everything seems to be going well. Neither rich, nor poor, she lives her life knowing she is somehow different, and starts sensing a specific ability..
All is fine until one morning, against all warnings and human rights, she is taken as a hostage to a castle in the far east, near the sea. There, Erika and the fourteen other 'candidates' are told their mission- satisfying the ancient royal blood with youthfulness and offsprings- due to the duty of their fates and their ancestors' promises. Being critical, yet emotional, charming, yet sharp-tongued, Erika believes this is a ridiculous mistake and disrespects the supposed glory and purity of her already decided fate. What will the others think of that silly outburst of bravery and will the girls unite to untie the knot of lies, or will Erika meet her punishment for questioning the information given to her? What will she find about herself in this path to her inner demons, and will she be able to overcome her deepest fears?
Follow this breath-stopping story to one's soul and maybe one day we can learn things we had never expected..
