This book is about a world where His Majesty Magic rules the ball. Here you’ll find all sorts of witches and archmagi, mighty artifacts, elves and dwarves, exotic kingdoms and impregnable castles, intrigues and wars. One of the great mages, Count Witolod de Lierо, decided to test in practice the ancient theory of being transferred to a parallel world. But the novel’s main character is not him at all—it's our modern-day man, the ordinary Vasily Vladimirskiy. How he ended up in the magical world of Kerdany and what happened to him there—you’ll learn from the book itself.
