An Uncle of the Noblest Principles. Book 8

Before us is a modified world of the late 18th century. In this world there is the Russian Empire, but instead of the Bering Strait there is a land bridge of the same name; in carriages there are magic-mechanical horses; aristocrats have magical talents; while in their serfdom there are orcs who obediently work the corvée.

It’s to exactly this kind of Russia that an inexperienced mage-in-training, Konstantin Uryosov, travels from Paris to claim an inheritance and reboot a not entirely successful career. Returning to historical roots proves difficult, but the hero manages not only to overcome all obstacles, but also to secure a prestigious position in local society.

In the eighth book, Uryosov is presented with the prospect of unprecedented career growth. He receives a generous offer from Empress Catherine Alekseevna herself, but whether it’s worth accepting is a big question. Besides, the hero has plenty of problems on his native estate Zlobino and enormous plans for the future, since his business projects are thriving. Konstantin’s skill at escorting people to the afterlife attracts those who want him to arrange it for them. The business is profitable, but dangerous—especially because each client has their own goals. Listen to the details of Konstantin Uryosov’s new adventures!
