Young Nienna of Antarskaya flees from an unwanted marriage to the sorcerer's academy of Martial, Healing and Special Arts in the capital city of Achenburg. But they won’t accept a skinny girl into action films; I don’t want to become a healer myself. Therefore, there remains only one option - to become a necromancer, a faithful servant of the Merciful Death. By order of His Majesty Alexander V, control all the surrounding pity, put to rest the risen dead, and at the same time fight evil spirits that ordinary weapons cannot take. And when trouble happens, in the company of the half-breed Valkyrie Gerda, search throughout the world for a lover with a fiery heart, whom the Orc shaman prophesied for her... p.s. The cycle is written based on mythology and Russian folk tales. The first two stories were created as part of thematic marathons on the "academic" with a strictly defined plot, the rest - as the author himself wanted.
