The Sandman + The Mistress of the Garden of Black Roses (Set of 2 Books)

A set of two books from the "Series that cannot be named": "The Mistress of the Garden of Black Roses" by Ekaterina Cavalli and "The Sandman" by Masha Van!

"The Sandman" is a tense psychological drama set in an isolated hospital on the edge of Iceland in 1961. Here, two people with painful pasts are forced to get to know each other anew — under false names and behind new masks.
This is a story about how an accidental lie can become the only thread connecting two solitudes, and about the price one must pay for the right to be oneself.
Previously a fan fiction, "The Sandman" attracted over 600,000 readers and became an internet phenomenon, earning a reputation as one of the most emotionally powerful and memorable stories. Today, the novel has been fully reimagined and presented as a standalone work that retains the dramatic depth and emotional intensity of the original.
Only in its darkness did she stop being invisible.
Elizabeth Murphy was used to denying her own desires. Her mother’s mental disorder and the payment for treatment at "Hepne", a botched admission to Oxford, and the loss of friends — all of this weighs heavily on her shoulders.
William Crosby, the arrogant heir of a fallen empire, lost his sight — and along with it, the meaning of existence. The one who once poisoned the girl's life is now locked in a ward: blind, helpless, and infinitely lonely.
When fate brings them together within the walls of "Hepne", Elizabeth finds no strength to reveal the truth. She introduces herself as Emma — under a false name it is easy to hide pain, contempt… and an unexpectedly awakened compassion.
An accidental meeting was not meant to be repeated, and a little lie was not supposed to turn into a real web. But Elizabeth cannot stop it: The Sandman has already heard her desire. And he always fulfills dreams, taking something bigger in return.

"The Mistress of the Garden of Black Roses" is a cult fan fiction that has captivated more than half a million readers of the "Harry Potter" universe, now completely reworked into a standalone work. The familiar dynamics from the fandom, depth of characters, and heat of passions are transferred to the backdrop of sunny and treacherous Italy, into a world of mafia clans and intricate intrigues. 
Becoming the heiress of a mafia empire against her will, Chiara is forced to prove that a fragile widow can control the bloody game.
Her marriage was a prison.
His death — a trap.
Chiara, a former captive of the powerful mafia boss Luciano Corsani, suddenly becomes the richest widow of Tuscany and the unwilling heiress to his criminal empire. But the throne, inherited through a bloody will, is precarious. Traitors whisper behind her back, and every step she takes depends on the will of the uncompromising Damiano Rosetti. To survive, Chiara will have to accept the rules of the world she was thrust into against her will. Here, trust leads to death, and the only way to save herself is to become the most dangerous predator in the garden of black roses.
