About the book: 2014 / "A sword, if you really have it, then it is always there. This is not a piece of iron in the hand, a real sword lives in a person’s soul and makes him invincible." These words changed the life of a Kyiv boy; the sword, which settled in his soul, does not allow Maxim to retreat when confronted with Evil. But Evil does not intend to give up! The struggle is becoming more fierce and tragic, more and more people are being drawn into it. And not only people. Is it possible in the heat of bloody battles not to lose oneself, to remain human in inhuman conditions, in the meat grinder of a senseless and merciless war? The action takes place in Kyiv, Crimea, and also in the medieval world of an alien planet.
