An alternative Russian Empire of the late 18th century lies before us. Europe is in ruins, and no one has even heard of America. Everywhere are swarms of bloodthirsty creatures attacking settlements, and only a mighty warrior who wields, among other things, magic can deal with them. Moreover, you can absorb the energy of the killed creatures and become even stronger.
Now, about the hero. For twenty years, he lay paralyzed in a peasant hut (an allusion to the legendary hero Ilya Muromets), and then—unexpectedly—the Power awakened in him. The healed warrior realizes there’s work to be done everywhere and takes up the sword. Monsters now have nothing to envy. As for the hero—he deserves sympathy. Watch his adventures in the first audiobook of the cycle. We promise: it won’t be boring!
