“To get rid of the sin of pride, you will have to become lower than everyone, worse than everyone, dust at the feet of others,” this is the sentence the fairy Dolya passed on to her goddaughter. Having challenged fate, Zlata did not yet know that these were not just words. On the path to happiness, she will have to go through difficulties and adversity, magic and black magic, learn the value of friendship, love and betrayal, and discover the meaning of life itself. This is the first of Tamara Kryukova’s books about the fate of the grocer’s daughter, the impregnable beauty Zlata. Opening it, the reader, together with the heroine, embarks on a path full of intrigue and exciting adventures.
