My husband was found dead. Now everyone is convinced I did it. They even sent a royal investigator to look into it. The problem is, I’m not the marquis’s wife. I’m not even from this world. And it seems I’ll have to get used not only to my new title, but also to the fact that the royal investigator can’t take his eyes off me…

A tiny agency called Keyhole Investigations was never part of the future I imagined for myself. Not after eight years of study and everything it took to become the first woman in criminal investigation. I expected this place to be boring. Instead, my first day on the job ended with a body in an alley. On the second, I was accused of murder. The only thing standing between me and ruin is an unexpected meeting with the kingdom’s new Chief Investigator. Now I have a chance to learn from the best. Because as of today, I am officially partnered with Mr. Jeremy Tate, the finest investigator in the capital.

The last thing I ever wanted was to get involved with warlocks. They're arrogant, smug, and always—always—make my life miserable. But... I might’ve overreacted a little. Just a little. And now I’m in deep trouble. How deep? Well, let’s just say I’ve somehow ended up surrounded by warlocks, my usual academy is now theirs, and—oh joy!—I’ve been “kindly invited” to take part in the annual Royal Magic Tournament. Cue the intrigues, the traps, the endless magical mess. And what if... love shows up exactly when it shouldn’t? Completely uninvited. Absolutely out of place. No. Nope. Not now! Fine. I’ll just have to learn to take a hit—and keep my feelings under control. Can I pull it off? Of course I can. After all, I’m Maeve Cass, the last of the Northern Witches.

He is a powerful millionaire tycoon and is also a thirsty vampire. He requests young and virgin blood donors, he is obsessed with the taste of pure blood without being desecrated by lust and sin. Cara reads the advertisement on all the digital portals in the city. It was absurd to read and the financial compensation offered was even more absurd. Distrustful, she thought about it for several days, but her account with a debit balance was the trigger for her decision, without imagining that her valuable crimson treasure would not be left in a hospital blood bank, since the red liquid will be taken directly from the veins of her neck by a handsome dark being that not even in her wildest fantasies she thought existed.

I was meant to marry the man my father chose for me — an unloved and unpleasant prince of Virania. But fate had other plans. I was taken by a dragon. Feral. Dangerous. Silent. For a long time, he did not speak a single word to me, keeping me in a cave atop a towering cliff. But when he finally spoke, everything changed.

I had never placed passion above duty. I always knew that my hand was betrothed to the Crown Prince, and my destiny was to ascend the imperial throne alongside a sovereign husband. And I cannot say that the prospect troubled me in the slightest. But then came a single dance. A single glance into eyes as black as the deepest abyss. And just like that… I no longer belonged to myself. The tragedy, however, is that I do not belong to my fiancé. I belong to a man who remains utterly indifferent to me. What would a well-bred Essa have done in my stead? Endured and forgotten. What did I do? I seduced him. I humiliated him. And then, I fled. Yet, who was I to think he would let such an affront go unpunished? It all began on the day His Highness the Crown Prince arrived for the festivities in

I ran away from home three years ago and swore I’d never return. But when a bounty of gold is placed on my sister’s death, I have no choice but to break that promise. Now I’m hunting the one who ordered the kill — and the assassin who took the job. Even if that assassin turns out to be someone I once trusted. Maybe that’s exactly the excuse I’ve been waiting for... to finish what we started. Standalone novel Series: The Heudvid Universe Chronologically: Book Five Can be read independently.

"The Wild Lands are located on the very edge of the World. They say that beyond them lies only Eternal Darkness,“ continues Akira, my roommate, enlightening me. ”How do you know?“ ”My brother flew there on a diplomatic mission. He said that guests are usually greeted in the form of a dragon and that almost the entire time they were there, they did not transform into humans. They lived in caves in the mountains, hunted, and ate raw meat. “How awful! And now these savages are going to study with us? They probably don't even know how to read!” The girls around me giggled, and this did not go unnoticed by the new arrivals. “And they say they came for brides! But who would want to live in their wilderness?” Wild dragons? At the Academy?

Irene woke up in a strange world, in someone else’s body… and smack in the middle of a bride selection. Oh, the tragedy. The solution? Easy. Sabotage the stupid contest and start a brand new life. In a world where a woman’s main virtue is obedience and the ability to please a man — she’s definitely the wrong girl for the job. “Obedience”? Never heard of her. That’s one word Irene refuses to add to her vocabulary.

I am forced against my will to become the wife of a mysterious, dangerous, and completely unfamiliar lord of the Northern Lands. They call him the Black Wolf — feared, admired, and shrouded in legend. And… I mean nothing to him. My father has high hopes for our union. The king offers me a humiliating role.

Did you think necromancers were gloomy and boring? Then we simply haven’t met yet! Allow me to introduce myself — Adele Black. My mother calls me a "walking disaster." Because everything I touch turns out… just a little bit wrong. I applied to the Battle Mage Department and somehow ended up with the necromancers. Tried to sneak into the dean’s office through a window — landed in the curator’s bedroom instead. Was running from my ex and… Well, I’d better start from the beginning. So, my name is Adele Black, and I’m the most hopeless necromancer in the history of the Academy of Magical Arts and Prophecies.
