About the book: year / Lady Mab Derovan and Reginald Enshaw share too much. She is an aristocrat, the heiress of one of the oldest families; he is a commoner, a groom boy who has achieved everything thanks to his intelligence and talent. They are constantly at war and dividing something: students, hours, curricula, and, more recently, housing. And now also the bed. The curse that accidentally fell on Lady Mab and Reginald must be kept secret so that the scandal does not destroy the reputation of the University at the most inopportune moment, and they must independently seek a solution to the problem. But it seems that the forbidden potion is not the biggest problem in Abarton. Setting: 1927, which roughly corresponds to our twenties and thirties
