About the book: 2018 / Mirt Cypher does not regret the chosen path. Life is measured and understandable: a graduate course in the Faculty of Combat Magic, extensive practice, a frightening reputation. A future battle mage with a license to kill. Mercenary of His Imperial Majesty. Snow Cypher. Cold-blooded, calculating and merciless towards Ardan's enemies. And to your own. Aya Delavent does not forgive insults. Neither real nor fictitious. Able to draw conclusions from lessons learned. And wait for the right moment to take revenge. And she has her own scores to settle with Mirt. But sometimes the sweetness of revenge turns into the bitterness of frost on the lips and in the heart.
