Necromancers are unpredictable and dangerous. Sonya had been sure of that since childhood. But when an ancient curse struck the prince’s domain, it was a death mage who turned out to be the only person capable of helping in trouble. Yet even that misfortune didn’t end there. Someone began hunting Sonya, and wanting to protect the eldest daughter, the Grand Duke sends her on a reconnaissance expedition into the mountains. There, among snow-covered peaks, the princess will have to learn not only dangerous secrets of ancient mages—but also a simple truth. Love doesn’t tolerate conditions and limitations. Especially when in your defenders you have a gray-eyed necromancer.
