The Last Gift. Book 1. The Thief

Ardan is governed by the Two-Faced Goddess. She sends him to the inhabitants of the boxes with fateful gifts. However, opening them is not easy, which is why in the whole world, the priceless are revered—people capable of instantly opening... the boxes. At eight years old, Lika discovered that she was priceless, but her talent had a flaw: Lika not only opens other people's boxes too slowly, but she also cannot solve the riddle of her own. Moreover, it turned out that the priceless have enemies as well. In an attempt to protect their daughter, parents make a lucrative deal—Lika will open the boxes of the princes. The day is approaching when Lika must fulfill her promise, but she does not even suspect what terrible consequences this will lead to. What will happen to Lika and her family if she fails? And why does one of the princes not want her to open his box?
