Only a year of free life was measured out for me by the gods. But all good things, as often happens, came to an end. Lucius Kias, a cruel and calculating magician beyond categories, who was considered dead for so long, has appeared again. And he will stop at nothing to get me back. However, this year I met a new love. Will I be able to maintain my happiness if the shadow of the puppeteer is behind me? And most importantly: will they allow me to refuse a mysterious game in which the fate of the whole world is at stake? I, Dominica Almion, challenge the gods!
