The Chocolatier and the Marquis

Zaotar is an elite educational institution where aristocrats learn the secrets of magic. Katarina Garrel was raised in poverty and lived in a boarding house with old actors, while her mother—mistress to the Marquis de Buiye—played the role of the court chocolatier right there. The marquis decides to do a kindness and pays for Katarina’s education at Zaotar, even though she herself doesn’t really want it. Naturally, local aristocracy receives the upstart with hostility and gives her the insulting nickname “Chocolatier.” Can Katarina stand up to her offenders, resist their schemes, and how will her studies at the Academy of Magic go?

In the second book, the heroine is no longer as naive and simple: she has gained useful connections and learned to anticipate situations in advance. And that will come in handy, because her enemies have planned a new nasty trick. Listen to the continuation of this exciting story!
