The Investigator of the Sorcery Office

It’s hard for women in men’s professions—even smart, even talented—even like Evangelina Romanovna Popovich, a clerk of the eighth class of the Berendian Empire’s Detective Corps. Especially if your work is in the capital’s sorcerous office, and you’ve never been a sorcerer and not even a sorceress. And to top it off, a worm-like (insidious) interest appears, besides the official one.

Because the boss of Ms. Popovich is none other than the greatest Berendian wizard, Semyon Krestovsky—handsome as an ancient statue, and nasty as a sweet bun before bed.
