“Dain’hel Idrayda” is a science-fiction novel, the second book in the cycle “Cradle of Worlds,” a genre of action fantasy. An ordinary village two days’ journey from the city—picturesque landscapes and a slow, peaceful life of its inhabitants. For Dain, it’s just an ordinary place that promises nothing bad. The hero expects dull leisure away from the noisy city and an ambitious lord. And, of course, as usually happens, magic rules the world, even skipping past a remote village.
