Felix’s story continues in a world that could be parallel or perpendicular. He must travel to Zakhrebyet, where he will become the defender of an isolated bastion on the front line of defense against dark forces. Help from friends is unlikely, because they will probably be far away. The Rune Mage’s life in the army is full of hardships, considering both his personal traits and his age. And besides, he has to keep all his obligations and promises made to himself.
