A Practical Assignment for the Necromancer

Everything I dreamed of was to become a necromancer—but my mother did everything to lock me away in the domestic science faculty and raise me as “the perfect wife.” I had to learn my gift in secret and wait for the right moment until, at last, I managed to get around all the rules and transfer to the capital academy for the faculty of the magic of death. But my calm studies were threatened: the merger of the women’s and men’s academies threw my plans into chaos, dragging me into a chain of adventures and intrigues. To win back a room from dissatisfied neighbors? Easy. To prove to my classmates and teachers that I’m worthy to be a necromancer? I’m ready for anything! But to take part in investigating a plot against the crown—that wasn’t on my schedule!

However, thanks to Kairos Sterling from the battle faculty, now I have to pretend to be his girlfriend and find out how his family is involved in the conspiracy. Necromancers are used to crossing the line between life and death, but what do you do when the line between pretending and real feelings starts blurring? I’ll find out in practice!
