A murder happens in a fairy tale! The first book of the series. She doesn’t remember what happened on the eve of Christmas twenty years ago. Now Nadia is a detective in a magical bureau. Together with her partner—a banished mage from the capital—they end up in an abandoned mansion. Suddenly, people from her childhood appear in the empty house as if nothing has changed. All this time they spent in a dream—and, like from nowhere, a corpse falls on her. Who killed it twenty years ago, and why did everyone fall asleep—except her?
