If You Want, Stay. Book 3

How do you turn the capital’s “golden youth” into the foundation and hope of the kingdom? Right: send them somewhere where they will either be reformed—or disappear for good, becoming dinner for the local inhabitants. The king even came up with the name himself: the Academy of Last Chance. Swamps teeming with monsters hungry for guests, a cemetery where the local ghostly troops train—these are what surrounds the castle where the Academy of Last Chance (APSh) is located. And the castle itself lives its own life, with its own secrets and skeletons in the closet (sometimes in the most literal sense). Will Theodore, the young rector of APSh, and his friends be able to handle both the difficult cadets who have grown used to impunity and permissiveness, and the local residents—sometimes overly active? Will it be possible to unravel the ominous secrets and defeat the mysterious enemy? Who is actually a friend, and who is only pretending to be one? How do you defeat an old curse? Can a person win a tournament in the empire of demons? Answers to all these and many other questions await you in the third part of the cycle “If You Want, Stay.”
