The novella “Daughter of a Necromancer” is part of the cycle “Keeper of Swords.” On one hand, it is a standalone work, but on the other, it’s inseparable from the story connected with Fess. Its heroes, Leith and Belt, will join the narrative in the book “Mage War. Debut.” Secret knowledge a young necromancer receives from the duott humanoid-race. But for it he has to pay a high price: this magic awakens the Beast, which wants to swallow the entire world of Evial. A prophecy says that only the necromancer’s son—who killed his father—will be able to destroy the offspring of Darkness. But a girl is born… The orphan Leith-Niaсcris, raised by a warrior race of Pouri, has only one purpose in life: revenge against a terrible enemy who killed her family. Through difficult roads she will go, uncover her magical gift, and learn terrible things. All for revenge. And only before the decisive battle Niaсcris discovers she will have to fight her own father. Can she fulfill the prophecy and save Evial?
