The Wretched World. Vol. 2. Book 4

The War of the Heirs is nearing its climax. Atthiy Buzma, forced to lead a rebellion against the Mad Niece, scores victory after victory—yet the closer he gets to the City, the clearer it becomes: the true enemy is neither Ukara’s army nor the bloody repressions of the usurper.

Behind the throne of the Empire stand sorcerers who, for years, have been weaving intrigues, trying to seize power for themselves.

To save the Empire, Atthiy must penetrate the very heart of the Palace and take the Throne he has long rejected. But victory proves bitter: the price of power is loneliness, and his fate is bound to the one he must kill. Yet Atthiy Buzma has always broken the rules. Instead of execution, he grants life; instead of a crown, he chooses another path—leaving behind not merely a new Mayor, but a chance for the Empire to begin anew.

The finale of the saga is about love and hatred, duty and freedom, and how, even in a world where gods and magic rule, a person can rewrite their fate. But the main question remains unanswered: what should you do when you’ve already changed the world—but not yourself?
