Eileen Revengar is about to become the chosen Darkest Lady, but she needs to find money to study at the Academy now. It doesn’t matter that to do this you will have to disperse the cemetery’s undead and open the crypt - this is not a problem for the brave non-lady. It's harder not to get caught by strict teachers. For Alastor, coming to the capital is a series of wonderful adventures. But the best of them awaits him among the graves under the howling of the dead. It seemed to Gregor Bastellero that life after the end of the war would only threaten with boredom and routine... If he could know the future, he would ask his friend the king to return him to the active army. And if only the king himself could foresee the future... But for now, the rising Double Star is just a young girl dreaming of love and balls, academic success and pranks. She is vigilantly looked after by the Raven brothers and disliked by some of her fellow students. And yet, they already love her. But who?
