Witches, sorcerers, and animalls live among us—they walk the same Moscow streets and ride the same subway lines. They also don’t value human life too much, and meeting them can end in death.
However, chaos isn’t allowed by mediators from the Ministry of Magical Supervision, who protect ordinary mortals. A century ago, mediators learned to borrow magic from sorcerers and forced magical creatures to obey the law. Now animalls are fined for turning into forms in the wrong place, and sorcerers are forced to register for immigration.
Many still haven’t accepted this. A war is coming—the magical people unite against the Ministry.
For witch Zoia, the mediators have their own reasons for hatred: because of the ministry’s dogs she lost someone dear. Major of the Homicide Department, Yan Voynov, lives for his job. Three years ago he already suppressed a sorcerers’ uprising, and he is firmly determined to do it again. Whose truth will prevail this time?
Will equality win—or freedom?
