Methodius had just settled into an ordinary life, without magic and service in the Office of Darkness, when he got into trouble, set up by Praskovya, who was in love with him. Buslaev’s body itself remembered everything that Arey taught him so mercilessly during training. Memory has returned to Meph, which means it’s time to repay his debts - after all, he still has Kvodnon’s powers, and Ligul will not rest until he takes them away in one way or another. Moreover, the Coronation will soon take place, at which Praskovya will become the rightful mistress of the Darkness and... an obedient puppet in the hands of an evil hunchback. All that remains is to choose the way in which Buslaev will be deprived of his dark powers.
