All Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg wants to do is forget that she had to use her special powers as a necromancer to help save Russia from the dark forces. She wants to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming one of the first women doctors in Russia. She is all set and ready to travel to Switzerland to attend one of the few medical schools to accept women when the tsar steps in and tells her she has to attend the Smolny Institute for one more year because she will not be safe in Switzerland. The empress has cast a spell around the Institute which will keep all evil out but it also traps Katerina in. But the spell unleashes a vengeful ghost within the school. A ghost that is more dangerous than outside forces would be, even murder.

 Katerina finds out that since the blood bond she was forced to make with Prince Danilo he now has access to her thoughts. Even though she hates this she finds that maybe he can help a little. But is it safe? He is determined to make Katerina his bride but can she really trust him? Meanwhile Duke George Alexandrovich has moved to Paris to acquire more knowledge on magic but is he entering dark magic circles that could turn him evil?

 With evil within and evil without is there anywhere safe and can Katarina’s ability as a necromancer help at all?

This book moved a little more slowly and was easier to follow because many things were set up in book #1 but it still leaves you wanting to read the final book in the trilogy to see how the story ends.
