A fantasy saga about 18-year-old Maia, the exiled princess of Comoros. When the country ruled by her father falls into chaos, Maya embarks on a risky quest to save the country. Trying to survive, she is forced to resort to magic, which she learned in secret, because women are prohibited from using magic. Enemies await her literally around every corner, but Maya begins to realize that evil is lurking inside her. Maya’s magical power begins to play cruel jokes on her: control over her own consciousness eludes Maya, and the guidelines for what is true and what is a lie are blurred. Will she be able to free herself and save her kingdom, to which she is devoted to the core, despite the fact that the kingdom rejected her? Jeff Wheeler worked at Intel. But literature took over.
