It’s not proper for a gray mouse to be friends with bloodthirsty tigers! And when will I finally learn that simple truth? For now, I have to deal with the problems that have already fallen on my poor head.
A mysterious murderer is still hunting me. And he’s helped—at least as much as he can—by an equally mysterious necromancer. The vampire who swore to kill me doesn’t intend to give up his bloody hunt. Did I forget anything? Oh yes, of course—my universal caster’s gift returned at the worst possible time, which means I’m about to be declared outlaws by the authorities of the four kingdoms!
Against all this, my incredibly complicated personal life looks like a mere trifle. What of it—I'm engaged to one, but I love another. You can hardly remember your heart’s worries when there’s only one step left before death.
