About the book: 2024 / Being a teacher of necromancy is dangerous to your health. Before Anna had time to recover from her recent misadventures, new ones struck. Field practice with dear students threatens to turn into a problem on an interworld scale, her husband fled to war, and at work the smell of a rat is felt more and more clearly. And everything would be fine, everything can be solved. And the students can be appeased, and relations with the nasty demon can be established, and the traitor can be identified. But compared to one problem, all this is sheer nonsense. Something else will force Anna to forget about everything at once, to lose sleep and peace. The missing statue.
