Trouble never comes alone. So she came to a retired legionary necromancer, a member of the guild of masters of the dead, along with her niece, whom he took as a student. What, it would seem, could happen? But a storm happens, and the galley breaks up while traveling in enemy waters, and you have to save not only your own skin, but also the skin of the unlucky student. And to save you, you need to teach the girl the craft of necromancy as soon as possible. And this is to force the undead to fight, build a shelter, collect the wreckage of a broken ship, and so on, so on, so on. And besides, the afterbirth is being chased, and the stake in this race is life.
