Summary
“So you knew who I was all along?”
"Unlike you, I try not to be intimate with people I don't know.”
She flushes, the feeling travelling up her throat and to her cheeks. “I wouldn’t say reading my name in a work-up about my stepfather counts as knowing me.”
“Oh but we have been introduced,” he says with a strange lidded half smile. “Twice.”
Drifting through life in a haze of alcohol and shopping, a bored Chinese heiress meets a mysterious Russian man and promptly forgets his name multiple times.

Summary
“So Alina Starkova is the tsar's beloved,” the woman repeats carefully, her measured voice cutting off all the currents of conversation. “It seems like you all know her as that. But how?”
The maidservants stare at her. “Haven’t you been listening to everything we’ve been saying?”
“But you don’t even know if he’s slept with her.”
“Oh,” one of the girls says, tipping back her last thumb of vodka. “You’ve never seen them together. If you had, you would know.”There are two sun summoners. The Darkling chose the more obedient one as his queen, and made Alina Starkova her handmaiden.
But that's how this story starts, not how it ends.

The first time Alina goes into the Fold and comes out as the Sun Summoner, she dies. The Druskelle succeed in ambushing the entourage and killing her on the way to the Little Palace. Then she wakes up in the barracks again, the morning of the crossing. There's Alexei on his cot, totally fine. No one is looking at her or for her... no one knows she is the Sun Summoner. She is free again.
But she knows what's going to happen and she can't let her friends die. With one endless day that she can't escape, Alina's goals grow and grow, until she wants nothing less than to discover the Darkling's secrets, change the timeline, and save Ravka. All in a day's work.- Language:
