Golden Smoke in the Blood-Red Mist(in Russian)
Story · 18+
Lera has always thought of herself as an ordinary student. Not the brightest or the most noticeable, but stubborn enough to keep her distance from people who make it hard to breathe.
Maxim is one of them. Frighteningly handsome, far too confident, far too dangerous. Others look at him as though he were a god, but Lera sees what no human should: a blood-red mist, a golden gleam in his eyes, and a power that makes her want to run and stay at the same time.
She thought he was only playing with her. Then one night changes everything. A golden star appears on her wrist, smoke smelling of cinnamon and nutmeg rises from beneath her skin, and an ancient power sleeping inside her begins to wake.
Now Lera must discover who she really is: an ordinary girl, a witch with someone else's memories, or something far more dangerous. And Maxim must decide which is more terrifying: a vampire's blood-red mist, or the golden smoke of the one who can drive even an immortal mad.
