Do not touch the sword.

Do not remove it.

Do not open the passage.

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane knows how to keep a secret. No one realizes her strange power, no one knows that she is a thief who steals from people and even the Undead Queen's resources. However, secrets are like knots. Sooner or later, they will be unraveled.

When Saeris comes face to face with the personification of Death, she inadvertently opens a portal between worlds and is taken to a world of ice and snow. Until now, she had only known elves from myths, legends, and nightmares… However, it turns out they are real, and the young woman finds herself caught in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that could lead to her destruction.

Saeris, the first human in over a thousand years to reach the snow-covered mountains of Yvelia, unknowingly enters into a blood pact with the warlike Kingfisher, who has secrets and plans of his own. He decides to use her power as an alchemist to protect his own, no matter the price he and she have to pay.
