I’m hiding. To escape a merciless necromancer, I have only one option—to enroll in a magical academy. But because of a portal mishap, I end up not in the capital, but at the very edge of the empire. Instead of the promised safety—icy corridors, exhausting training from dawn to night, and a curator who has no idea what mercy is.
My mentor is a stern general—convinced that the combat faculty is not for girls. Only I don’t know how to step back. I’ll prove that I’m worthy to become a Keeper! And that along the way I’ll have to untangle a couple of secrets, master ancient magic, and accidentally set a dangerous beast free… well, it just happened.
And why does the curator look at me as if he himself can’t decide what to do—punish me or kiss me?
1. A strict yet irresistible general, falling for whom is impossible.
2. A quick-witted heroine who doesn’t wait for trouble—she finds it first.
3. An academy atmosphere: unbothered cadets and fluffy fire-animals.
4. Forbidden attraction and slow-burn closeness.
5. A brisk pace, secrets of the past, and a happy ending.
