Bookwalkers of Special Purpose

Kira and her partner Karel are book-runners of special assignment. Done. Confirmed and signed. And if earlier you could still doubt it, now—after Annushka… sorry, Annatiniel Kariboro, a dark fairy, a professor of bestiology and fairylore—so graciously consented to become the personal mentor of the restless pair, swore to turn them into top-tier magicians, and began to scare them to the point of trembling in seminars and grind them down to the point of losing their pulse during practical sessions—there’s no choice left. So they studied like crazy, stuffing knowledge into their heads at triple speed and with tenfold effort. And in rare moments of rest? Well… who doesn’t play around? Even if it makes the whole school flinch in the literal sense, and the rector goes gray. At least it’s fun and interesting. Very. And that, too, is “special assignment” for Kira Zolotova’s WSB acolyte.
