Before you is an alternative Russian Empire of the late 18th century. Europe lies in ruins, and no one has even heard of America. Everywhere, hordes of bloodthirsty creatures attack settlements—and only a mighty warrior who, among other things, possesses magic, can deal with them. Moreover, the energy of the killed creatures can be absorbed, making you stronger.
The main hero, who had been paralyzed for twenty years, suddenly gains power and soon becomes one of the best hunters of the foul. Now he is Count Vladimir Vsevolodovich Davydov. The hero even considers another source of steady income, but he still follows his unexpected calling. He is helped by Zakhar, a loyal partner—but not always reliable.
In the book “The Spirit Day,” the hero must face the watery element and its inhabitants—the water spirit (vodny) and mermaids. They are extremely troublesome: they create obstacles for technical progress and threaten people’s lives. To deal with yet another evil creature, a well-thought-out plan is needed. And the hero always has a plan!
