This is the fifth book in the series about resilient friends the sorceress Olgerd and the half-gnome Otto. This time, another test awaits them, because Ola has decided that she should continue her studies, and Otto cannot confess his love to his Elvish teacher. But these are trifles, because there is also Irga, Zhivko and even Eshkin Kot! Oh yes, don’t forget the stern necromancer daddy, Beth, Blonde Lim and the rest of the involved (and not so involved) persons.
