Academy of Metamorphoses. Crow's Student

After the arrest, imprisonment, and sudden pardon, Karl Crow is forced to return to the Academy of Metamorphoses, where he taught for many years. He needs a place to wait out the gossip about his role in the recent conflict of the orders in Tumalon, while also deciding what to do next with his life. The recent war has also impacted Stephanie Gray and her friends: they had to grow up quickly. But now they are returning to the academy to complete their interrupted education. Stephanie needs an internship in potion-making, but Professor Crow is reluctant to take on students. Moreover, he harbors a long-standing dislike for her best friend's family. How can she convince him to change his mind? Her best friend suggests that Stephanie use her feminine charms, but fate offers another option, throwing Crow along with the students into a world teeming with dangerous creatures.
