Malinka escaped the Dark Academy in another world, leaving behind necromancers, monsters, and one very inconvenient fake husband. Now she's back on Earth, ready to hug her parents, forget that nightmare, and enjoy a normal life. Well, as normal as life can get when you're a half-trained necromancer with a talent for opening gateways between worlds.
But in a world where magic supposedly doesn't exist, an Interworld Key like her is far too valuable to be left alone. Multiple governments are hunting her down, and the secrets she uncovers about her own family make the horrors of the catacombs look like child's play.
To make matters worse, her love life is an entirely different disaster. The necromancer who brought her back from the dead put a very real, very magical ring on her finger. A ring that turns even the slightest touch from another man into a painful shock. And anything more intimate could be deadly.
Which is particularly unfortunate, considering that Drake, the powerful archmage she actually loves and has been sharing dreams with across worlds, has finally found his way back to her.
And after everything they've been through, he can't even hold her in his arms.
Hunted by governments, targeted by demons, and bound by a magical marriage she can't break, Malinka is about to learn that escaping the Dark Academy was the easy part.
