I suppose my readers have already met Asterius in the cycle “Your Excellency,” so I’ll say only briefly for those who haven’t. Asterius is a mage who learned, after death, to preserve consciousness—and now he chooses in which world and in which body to take root. Thanks to his immense experience of many lives, his power as a mage is great. In this series, which I hope will be a pleasant surprise for fans of the novel “Your Excellency,” Asterius finds himself in a world where there are dragons, somewhere—elves and werewolves, ancient gods, and lots of magic, intrigues, and secrets from the past. And, of course, there are beauties. How could there be without them? Capturing the heart of a beautiful lady is the first thing to do—well, between battles and adventures. So hurry into the world of Kailos, which Asterius has chosen for his new life. And he chooses only worlds where it’s interesting.
