Synopsis
This world doesn't tolerate love. Especially the one that is forbidden.

"Listen here, Liam is my friend. You can't have any relationship with him."
"Let go of my hand, it hurts," Eliza pulled her hand, but the man's fingers only tightened grip on her wrist. From the outside, their dialogue looked like a pleasant conversation, but Adrian's gaze and his grip, after which she would definitely have a bruise, were far from being friendly.
"Stay away from him," the man hissed, keeping a charming smile on his face.
"What if I don’t?"
Irritation slipped across Adrian's face, but then disappeared behind the usual mask of benevolence. And only the ice in his eyes betrayed true emotions. He leaned over to the girl and whispered, "Then I will reveal your secret to him. It will be amusing to see how his admiration for you will turn into disgust. Are you ready to check it?"
~~~~~
The Romalian Empire was one of the most developed countries on the continent. Its capital, Malva, welcomed the travelers with beautiful buildings, wide avenues and clean streets. Everything spoke of the high standard of living and the greatness of its citizens.
Though, not all of them.
At birth, each person was assigned to a certain caste: aristocrats led by the royal family, merchants and gifted professionals. But fate was truly merciless with those who had been born as slaves. Their life, future, and even their children forever belonged to their owners.
Elizabeth Dale grew like a rare flower under the watchful eye of her uncle, Philip Lockhart. Her education, upbringing and manners were of a high level, like all aristocrats had.
Outside of his large estate, she was known as the niece of a distant relative. And only within the walls of the house did everyone know about her real identity.
Eliza was a slave. She was a slave in beautiful clothes and with the manners of a noble lady, with no freedom and the right of choice.
A slave could become free if the owner himself granted this freedom to him or her. A slave could become free if their talent was recognized by the Royal Academy as a value for the empire.
And if Eliza had talent, then she could only dream of freedom. After all, none other than her worst enemy could grant her wish. Of course, this was not part of his plans.
UPD: The novel is temporarily on hiatus.

The mystery will keep you up if you read the synopsis! How dark that must have been for Eliza to reveal her secret! It must have been so raging and powerful!
Hi there everybody! I can't find proper words to describe how this novel inspired me! Not only does this book have a fantastic plot, mildly opening up new information about the existing characters, and introducing new ones, it also has such a great language! Honestly, I improved my pick up skills by using some phrases the main male lead characters use in their speech :) Ok, now, time for a serious comment. Everything - from characters description, to the description of streets, roads, pavements, every single detail is portrayed clearly. Somehow you get a feeling that the author teleported from the times where kings and queens reigned, and is sharing her personal experience with us, kids of the Internet era. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. J.O.B. Thank you, author, for letting me be a part of this magnificent journey!
Ok, here I am, finally ready to make a review on this novel. Notwithstanding the fact that I have read only a handful of chapters, I feel the depth of personality, the emotions, the charisma of the old times when people fought with swords and there were knights. This is so important for me when reading a new book. If it doesn't hook me from the first paragraph I won't bother reading it further. Sorry, but that's my nature. I'm a bit shallow and I like to judge the book by its cover. Literally and figuratively speaking. Top notch start, author! Keep it up on this level and you will have a very true fan on this site.
It's amazing . From writing to everything you will love. It gives realistic feeling . The story is calm and steady with wonderful magic . Must read it. Every character has their own problems and struggle. The progress of the story brilliant . Do read it . It's amazing. Beautifully described , you will in love with the characters .

Thank you for visiting Eliza’s page. This is the author’s review to help you in choosing the story. I can describe the genre of this novel as a historical fantasy romance (There is some magic in the world setting, so… Yep. That’s why it is fantasy too). Don’t expect to see ‘urban’ writing style as in the most CEO-oriented novels. ‘Hey, bro! What’s up?’ and such phrases won’t appear in the novel. And it is highly likely you will meet something ‘My old friend, Lord Bla-bla, how have you been doing all this time?’ Nobles have this kooky side in a way of talking: D This is the main reason why: Will there be constant face-slapping scenes with the same characters in the same situations? Hmmm, not sure. Probably… not. Will there be stupid rich girls who will offend our poor FL all the time? Definitely not. I mean, there will be rich girls but believe me, they will NOT be stupid, for sure. A stupid noble is a poor noble. Not a single noble wants to be poor. Will our FL win everyone, marry a prince and live with him happily ever after? Looking for a happy ending? What about a sad one then? Kidding. No spoilers. Anyway, I want to warn you that English isn’t my native language but I will do my best to make the quality of the text coherent, grammatically correct and well described. If you are a grammar nerd or a head editor of a well-known publishing house, feel free to show this peasant author how to write better :D The comment section is always open. Leaving jokes aside, I will be honestly grateful if you give this story a try. And I will be more than happy if you find it to your liking. Take care and may your loved ones stay safe and sound. Anya.
