She wasn't supposed to be here. Wasn't supposed to survive. Wasn't supposed to fall in love.
But Alya is from Russia and isn't the type to follow the rules.
One bus crash. One forbidden spell. Two mages who wanted to summon a demon — and got a girl in a dirty hoodie with a sharp tongue and zero fear. She killed the demon Kraag. Survived the altar and the chains. And learned that the portal home is one-time use.
Now she's in a world where magic has a price and love can kill.
But she has something more dangerous. A gift no one knows about. And an enemy already sharpening the knife.
She's not a hero. She's a catastrophe. And that's her best quality.
