How can a not-very-wealthy academy graduate get a prestigious internship? Persuade? Bribe? Kill? And then there came an unexpected offer: to become the assistant to one of the best investigators in the empire. He is dangerous, mysterious, and keeps many secrets. But is it really an offer? Or is it, after all, a command? But suddenly left without housing, risking ending up on the street, you grab at even dubious luck. However, better this way than the prospect of getting married! After all, in the Ministry of Magic, you can serve, but you cannot love!
