Mavra Kedrovna is a corpsewitch and nobody knows.

Cursed with the ability to control blood and reanimate corpses into upyrs, she's been confined to a convent alongside other young women for their protection amidst the Happenings; a series of disappearances and attacks plaguing Roz's villages. 

On the eve of mass hysteria, famed and feared upyr hunter, Nikandr Rokodin, betroths himself to Darya, a girl from Mavra's convent, in the name of strengthening himself before the magical genocide set to be waged against corpseswitches.

Only when Mavra inserts herself into Nikandr's inner circle disguised as Darya's male mercenary does she realize the power she wields over both the living and dead can be used to protect Roz's women from a femicidal fate.

But magic like hers often has a witching way of its own...

Book one in the Gold Saga In a realm where ancient rites and primordial forces still hold sway, a young woman's life is forever altered after she drinks from a ceremonial chalice that gifts her with an Ill Omen. Ravena finds herself in the crosshairs of warring factions - from the fanatical coven that has cultivated her as their "Blessed Vessel", to the astonishing emergence of powerful draconic behemoths. When one towering dragonlord turns its smoldering, bestial regard upon Ravena's exposed form, it ignites a conflagration that will scorch away her reality and thrust her into a dark mythological universe. A world where dragons rule as elemental demigods, rendering humanity as mere playthings to satiate their primal hungers. Caught between clashing dynasties, draconic mysteries, and the haunting resonance of that dragonlord's blazing stare, Ravena has two paths before her - to somehow reclaim her fragile human existence, or surrender to the untamed power that now storms through her veins. Steeped in eroticism and primal mysticism, Nogard is a searing dark fantasy where myth and flesh intertwine.
