After graduating from the school of magic, nineteen-year-old Ceony becomes an apprentice to the magician Emery Thane. And this appointment causes her a storm of indignation: not only does her mentor live in the middle of nowhere, but he also practices paper magic that no one needs! Sioni dreams of becoming a Melter and living in London. But the girl has no choice: if you want to really do magic, follow the rules. So Sioni would have vegetated in the wilderness of the village, if not for the brutal attack of an adept of dark magic on her master. Sioni sets off in pursuit. But how much can yesterday's magic school graduate do against the skilled Ripper?! For the first time in Russian!
