Having died in Afghanistan, Major Glukhov received a second life in a closed sector of a magical world, in the body of the fifteen-year-old son of a local baron. An agent of the galactic security service recruited him by implanting an experimental symbiont. The major’s life experience, the symbiont’s capabilities, and the status of a baron’s son formed a hellish combination, making Glukhov a unique independent figure in the deadly game of local gods, criminal syndicates, and various security services. Through his actions, he upsets the balance in this world. The gods are enraged, and the fire of war is flaring up over the world of Sivilla.
