If a dark witch appears at the academy, trouble is inevitable! Especially if her familiar turns out to be a grave spirit living inside a cat. In that case, the teachers would do well to resign right away. But the rector of the academy isn’t the kind who fears difficulties. He’s a dragon, and it doesn’t matter to him that Orlanda hates them. He simply needs a teacher—and that’s that. And the cat? It can become an ally to solve all problems effectively. For example, by offering the dark witch marriage.
Five reasons to read the book: 1. Sparkling humor and character interactions will keep your attention. 2. The prototype of the main heroine’s tricolor familiar was the author’s cat. 3. The heroine will face a difficult moral choice and a rethinking of what “good” and “evil” mean. 4. You’ll be able to ride motor carriages reminiscent of our cars, read gossip in newspapers, and attend closed evenings inaccessible to ordinary people. 5. Together with the heroes, you’ll unravel a chain of strange deaths, attempts, and anonymous letters that clutter the academy.
