There is a rumor that a ghost has appeared in the northern wing of the ducal castle in the city of Elvart. Magicians and priests brush aside the stories of frightened servants, because they know for sure that there cannot be ghosts in the palace. But the young Lady Emilia, the bodyguard of the equally young Princess of Elvart, believes the stories of the “little people” and decides to look into the situation personally. Of course, everything will turn out to be more complicated than she expected... than anyone could have expected... From the author: The story begins five years before the events of the novel "Bright Heads Mercenary Company". The characters are some of the novel's minor characters.
