The lich is defeated. The first year of study is over, and Alba Sinegorskaya and her classmates, under the guidance of the dean and master mentalist, go to practice interacting with magical anomalies. In theory, this is a completely ordinary study trip, but, as we know, any theory is only good until it meets reality. Does the Forge of Souls really exist, what is it even and who else might be looking for this mythical artifact? Alba and her friends will have to learn all this from their own experience.
