A trap for the artifactor. Red -haired echidna

In the evening I was preparing for the wedding, and already at dawn I leave the capital, only miraculously avoiding a dangerous trap. If I only knew where they would send me in order to hide from ill -wishers! To join the group of combat magicians as a full -time artifactor at the borders of the fault - it would seem that something worse? But maybe! For example, an attempt to wipe me out of the detachment, a collapsed magical protection or a colleague obsessed with darkness. And the commander is my former lover, who wants to strangle. And why do I have the feeling that, having avoided one trap, I landed in another?
