About the book: year / “It’s just a boarding school for girls,” my mother once claimed, although she knew the truth about both the magical world and the school. But, as it turned out, she hoped to save me. It was not possible to save me; with the inevitability inherent in all chameleons, I got into trouble. A walk in semi-reality turned out to have the most unexpected consequences even for semi-reality, and I got stuck in a web of political intrigues, willy-nilly dragging into them those who are dear to me. And now, in order to somehow cope with at least part of the consequences of all this, I need to complete the Search for Thirteen. And as the Search progresses, the question becomes more and more acute: what do I really want to ask the strongest merfits in the world for? Especially now, in the midst of the Second Hunt and the new war of the Underwater Wind and the Fire.
