Thunder over Darkness. Part 1

18+ This is the ninth book in the series. And well—I've passed the elemental trials. It would seem time to exhale and reap the fruits of my labors. I expected the keys to the three realms to be handed to me on a gold-embroidered cushion, under roaring applause and admiring looks… Yeah, sure—NOT! When did any of this ever go according to my plan?! I was told with a smugness that I should have read the contract more carefully—especially what’s written in tiny print! The trials are wrong, the elementals are wrong, the world is wrong. And I myself—I'm somehow not right either!!! Ugh, how angry I am! And they completely forgot how terrifying I am in rage! They think they outplayed me, fooled me around, used my gullibility and my thirst for… uh-huh, for knowledge?!! Not happening! I’ll still get what I want! Real heroes always go the long way around—and I’ve already even worked out a route that will turn out to be a huge surprise for everyone… Vladislav Gromov’s adventures continue.
