Be careful when dealing with advertised sorcerers. If you’re lucky, one day you wake up and realize that the last four years you’ve been working as unpaid help. Just like Varvara Karavaeva, who wasn’t fortunate enough to catch the eye of such a sorcerer. So the poor girl had to run to another world, get settled there, make new acquaintances, and deal with the curse she received as a follow-up. Varya is even glad to try—because she has found that she has magical abilities. But how hard it is to control them! Even harder is convincing the head of the city guard that she isn’t guilty of anything. And he keeps circling her, not giving the poor girl any peace, as if he has lost something important and can’t find it.
