Trial of Will

A чужой world does not forgive weakness. Yesterday you were nobody; today—Antei, the lord of the mighty castle of Thunder Gate. But power in this world is not a reward—it’s a target on the back.

Antei finds himself drawn into a ruthless game of magic and intrigue. His only ally is a treacherous vampire Queen-Mother, whom the powerful sorcerer Shuzmараl is hunting. But can you trust someone who dreams of subjugating your mind and turning you into a obedient puppet?

A ring of enemies closes in around the castle: fanatical cultists, bloodthirsty vampires, and savage mountain clans. To survive, Antei will have to make unconventional decisions and prove his right to rule not only with strength, but with iron will as well. Learning of an invasion by the mountain tribes, he understands: it’s time to play for bigger stakes. A new goal— the title of baron. But will he have enough power to take what’s his?
