Polina Mirska is an ordinary freelancer whose worst nightmare is deadlines and a broken printer. But everything changes when an ancient manuscript summons a demon to her.
Now Azghar, the Lord of Shadows—arrogant and dangerous—by some strange twist of fate becomes her “assistant.” He’s not thrilled about brewing tea and learning how to use a vacuum cleaner, but a contract is a contract. And she also has to put up with the suspicious cat Barsik, who believes protecting his mistress from the demon is his personal mission.
But Polina’s troubles don’t end there. Azghar is being hunted by a possessed enemy—a demon hunter, ready to do anything to get his power. In this dangerous game, Polina will have to deal not only with magic, but also with her own feelings for her “assistant.”
How do you survive, not lose your sanity, and not fall in love with a demon? A question even Barsik doesn’t know the answer to!
