About the book

When your gift is outlawed, it's best to keep your head down, stay off the empire's radar, and avoid any contact with imperial dark mages. I broke all three rules in a single day. I nearly exposed myself trying to save a pregnant stranger from death. I struck a deal with the head of the city guard. And now… I’m part of a special combat unit tasked with hunting down people like me. I need to get rid of them—fast—before they figure out what I am. But that’s getting harder by the day, especially with the commander watching me just a little too closely.

    An incredible story. I'm reading it in one breath. It hurts that she did this and used her blood in such a way, but it also feels like this was the right thing. Damn, I'm going to read the second part to figure everything out and understand if he really forgot everything. Thank you. The suspense keeps me hooked.

    I'm reading the series for the third time. Each time it's a new pleasure! Thank you to the author for a ray of sunshine and a pinch of warmth and joy in this terrible time.

    Please, be more careful when translating the text from Russian. I can't stand these infernal torments anymore :)

    It's very interesting how Kirai reacted to Triss's words about meeting a dragon. Are there dragons in this magical world?

    A very interesting book. The heroine just wants to help and live her own life. But after saving a pregnant girl, she faces a question: how to keep the truth about herself hidden. And then there's this offer to be a healer in a squad of battle mages. And the commander is a handsome man. With someone like him, you could even share a kiss. But should you?

    The combat squad arrived just in time, otherwise the dragon would have torn the rescuer apart. And what is she supposed to be responsible for? For saving someone using blood magic.

    I finished reading the book, didn’t sleep half the night)) Very interesting! I want to note that I like the main character’s decision at the end. It’s logical, realistic, and allows the characters and their story to be explored in the second book. Which I’m going to check out right now) Thank you!

    Chapter 10. The main character knows that she saved the investigator's sister, but there was no information about this before, it's unclear how she found out. Then, without explaining anything, she asks to be taken to the infirmary, and the commander agrees. What is her friend, who can't be left alone, doing at this time? It's unknown. From the plot, it seems that she was abandoned, just like the rest of the team. I have the impression that some dialogues are missing because there’s a catastrophic lack of them. Maybe they were left in the draft?))

    I finished reading your book. All I can say is: wow!!!! The emotions inside me are mixed up like whirlwinds in a cloud, and any moment now, I might start throwing lightning bolts))) It's so fascinating to follow the characters, racing ahead of the plot with my thoughts, and feeling so much for the heroine, comforting both her and myself at the same time: everything will be okay! Thank you, author!!!!!

    And yet, up to chapter 7, there’s no mention anywhere that the previous squad doctor is Kirai’s sister. But Triss, I think, is a smart girl and figured it out herself))

    Nilai is the sister of someone from the squad?! Wow! I thought she was just a girl - a healer and a friend of one of the mages. And whose sister is she? Did I miss the explanation somewhere?

    A real man knows how to win a woman's favor))) Whether it's a ball gown or a warm uniform for winter duty, it doesn't matter! ;)
