Artificer+. Book 2. Return of the Prodigal Emperor. Vol. 2

“The Return of the Hated Emperor” is a science-fiction novel by Aleksandr Sedyh, the second book of the second volume of the “Artefactmaker+” cycle. Genre: historical science fiction, reincarnations/isekai. Life stubbornly adjusts people’s plans, weaving an intricate pattern of fate. Want it or not, there’s a twist ahead—and it’s impossible to predict where it will carry you next. But no matter how much the path of life twists, it always leads home. This time, however, the return to the native world wasn’t a simple one. He returned—yes, but it didn’t get easier. On the contrary. New adventures already await the artefactmaker. Unexpected meetings lead to problems that look ordinary at first, but turn out to be global—and not only for the fate of the mage himself. Everything pushes him toward the heights of power, and no matter how much he resists, he will have to shoulder the burden of problems—possibly belonging to more than one world.
