Barefoot on Ashes. The Third Book

How much pain and suffering can a person endure? Is there a limit beyond which emptiness and oblivion set in? Alicia did not know. But she was absolutely sure of one thing: Amirarn al-Maktum – her curse and poison, her blessing and life, her death and ecstasy. What she had to go through to understand this! To gain and then immediately lose the most precious thing that can exist in a woman's life. To run along a road paved with ash, which was chosen for her by Ran himself. To submit, to love sincerely.

And once again to lose.

Li was sure that she alone was to blame for everything that happened. How many mistakes she had made, how many foolish things she had done, ultimately destroying her happiness with her own hands! The king's will is law. If Ran slammed the door in her face – she must retreat. If he decides to marry another, Li will remain silent. But to understand, to realize that she will never see Amirarn again, that he will never again call her his tatlim…

Or can it still be turned back?
