About the book: 2006 / It’s easy to be a hero when millions of people believe in your success, wizards bring you an enchanted blade and a loyal squad accompanies you all the way. What if fate has decreed that you are forced to play the role of a villain? Lies and betrayal await you at every step, you don’t know who you can trust (and can you trust anyone at all?!), and entire nations want your death. When your choice is limited to only two options: allow yourself to be killed or become what others see you as and who you don’t want to be. Drown the world in blood or choke in it yourself? Is there a third way? And if there is one, do you have the strength to walk through it??
