The Sentinel. The Cadet

To end up in a world after the Cataclysm, where magic coexists with aristocracy—and from portals crawl nightmarish creatures? To find yourself in the body of a cursed heir whose abilities are locked, while your own people hate you more than the monsters do? Easy. But Alexey Bestuzhev doesn’t give up: he is a hereditary nobleman and a Watchman, and he will prove that even a cursed House can become a legend.

This world survived the Cataclysm that destroyed the old civilization. It rose from the ashes. In this world, aristocracy was reborn. Magic returned to the world. But the restored world faced a new, terrible misfortune—a new invasion from another plane of existence, with dreadful, horrifying creatures. And I found myself in this world.

In the body of a cadet of the Academy of the Order of Watchmen—elite warriors created to defend the borders of the Great Russian Empire from the monsters’ invasion. Only I turned out to be the heir of the House that everyone despises and curses! I’m forbidden to use the family name. My inherited abilities are blocked, and I’m hated—and they want to kill me—not only by creatures from another world.

But I think differently… I am Alexey Bestuzhev, a hereditary nobleman and a Watchman! While I’m a cadet? Oh, that’s temporary…
