About the book: 2020 / The Great Snake Catcher is dead, the order is defeated, the world is recovering from the madness of the civil war. The coming winter carefully covers the earth with snow, hiding blood and ashes, marking the beginning of a new life. Norika Nero, a senior officer of the order, is also trying to start a new life, whose revenge and hatred of former teachers brought her to the side of their enemy. The young king invited her to head a school where the surviving baby snakes would receive shelter. Norika dreams of finding peace in helping the children she once saved. But maybe this winter will not only get rid of nightmares, but will bring something else? Happiness that I no longer dared to hope for. And a love that seemed long dead.
