About the book: year / Lady Radana disappeared from her own bedroom. And who is to blame for the kidnapping if not the Guardian of the Dark Side, who made a deal with the lady’s father many years ago? The gardener's assistant Colin, secretly in love with Radana, is ready to do anything to save her from villainous captivity. Even stealing a familiar from a forest witch. The witch Inarin did not intend to help the unhappy lover, nor to investigate the abduction of a rich heiress. However, the temptation to return to where she did not intend to return turned out to be stronger. All you need to do is take Colin to the Guardians’ citadel to the Dark Side and touch his own past. But the citadel reliably keeps the secrets of each Guardian and is in no hurry to allow a random witch into them. Or not random at all?
