Dark mages don’t forgive mistakes and never forget debts. And even death isn’t an obstacle for them to collect what they’re owed.
Sheril found that out firsthand. She had dreamed of magical projects and complex illusions—but instead she got a contract as a teacher of careless students who could drive anyone to stammering, and colleagues who weren’t willing to accept a young upstart. And for complete happiness, she managed to become the eyes and ears of a dark mage who has long been considered dead.
But Sheril isn’t going to agree to be a obedient marionette. It doesn’t matter that she has no experience in the art of deception, and that illusions turn into flames in a minute. A lady in trouble isn’t going to wait for a knight. The only thing that matters is that her fiery nature doesn’t create problems—new enemies, new riddles.
