My name is Victoria Zagnybeda, and I’m a witch. It sounds like a confession at a meeting of an anonymous alcoholics society. But yes— that’s exactly what it is. The professors of the Academy of Witchcraft, Sorcery, Magic, and Enchantment sighed in relief when I left the walls of my alma mater, and with a sense of duty fulfilled, assigned me to a village where, apparently, for a hundred years nobody had sent anyone. They probably hoped the glorious deeds of a mediocre student wouldn’t reach them due to the distance. And what exactly did I do to them? The truth is: as soon as I showed up at my workplace, something started… In short, not even a whole squad of exterminators could handle it. And me? I didn’t do anything. So why don’t they believe me?
