Description

“Harry Potter” in a Russian setting, with its Ministry of Magic, magic-busters, and the fight for wizards’ rights. Magical Russia, 2027. In a provincial town, an elderly librarian is brutally murdered: her face has been desiccated, and her eyes have been cauterized with magic. The head of the local Magical Committee, Fyodor Zhranovsky, is sure the killer was looking in the library for information about sources of magic—one of which is hidden in his wife Daria’s magical café. Three years after magic returns, someone begins destroying these sources, taking their power—so the culprit must be found faster than they discover the café. Meanwhile, Magical Committees across the country are under attack by unknown assailants who believe that, as before, non-magicians must obey wizards. A new coup is coming, and the existence of magic is again in jeopardy… “A time of secrets, family ties, and magical adventures. Magic is in danger, and the balance of power has been thrown off. Our heroes are back to fight for justice and peace in the world. Settle into a cozy detective story where the mysteries of the past are revealed, and a tense plot won’t let you tear yourself away from the long-awaited continuation.” — Alena Tviti, a book blogger.
