In this world, words can start a war. It will also be able to stop the bloodshed and be the guarantor of peace, and a strong alliance. These are the rules: there is too much power in the blood of the Gifted to allow liars to exist. But the lie will live on, nesting in the hearts of the most honest and noble, wrapping beautiful words around terrible crimes, turning meanness into a great deed. The own son will be consigned to oblivion, forgotten and erased from the family record - for the sake of the great cause, for the fulfillment of the prophecy. The Princely family will turn a blind eye to this and share the blame - the payment is worthy of reward. But the heir of prominent rulers, tossed into the orphanage of an ordinary town, will have his own point of view. T.N. Translation of the original novel by Vladimir Ilyin.
