Alexander Volkov

In the north of Russia, somewhere between frozen forests and endless fields of snow, there stands an ancient castle that the locals call “The Castle of the Dead.” Its owner, Alexander Volkov, is the last heir of a Russian aristocratic dynasty; a wealthy, charming, ruthless, and unpredictable man who is rumored to leave no one able to endure living beside him for more than a year.
You, a young woman who finds yourself drowning in your family’s heavy debts after your father’s death, are forced to accept a strange contract to save your family:
One year living in the castle and working as the guardian of the Volkov family archives.
But on your very first night, you discover that there is a room in the castle that is always locked; a room Alexander is willing to do anything to keep its secret hidden.
You thought Alexander was nothing more than a cold and dangerous man, until you find your mother’s diary inside the very same castle...
The diary reveals that your mother was once in love with Alexander’s father many years ago, and that her disappearance was not an accident.
The truth is that the Volkov and Romanov families have been lying to each other for generations.
And the worst part?
Alexander has known who you are from the very beginning.
He brought you to the castle not because of the job...
But because of revenge.
However, what neither of you expected was that your hatred would slowly turn into a dangerous obsession; a love that is neither saving nor pure, but something much darker...
“She came to destroy me, but she forgot that she would be the first one to burn in my fire.”
