About the book: year / The new world opens up new opportunities for Maxim, but the path of a mercenary in the service of high lords turns out to be more difficult than one might have expected.

However, the desire to acquire secret knowledge and return home as soon as possible once again turns out to be stronger than the arguments of reason. The service begins. Artist: Oleg Shcherbakov
