Luka is a teenager confined to a wheelchair and under the care of his mother, a laundress who barely makes ends meet, since the head of the family has long died in a gladiator fight in the arena. The world Luka lives in is cruel. Here rule power and money; authorities are corrupt; the emperor is mired in luxury and pleasures. The country is torn apart by feudal wars, while criminal gangs dictate their laws to ordinary people. Can someone like Luka survive in such a terrible world? Most likely, no—unless… the hero dies, but into his body comes a man from another world who has plenty of knowledge and skills—and, above all, he controls his own body well. Together with the new occupant, Luka’s body gains new abilities. Later, he even manages to exchange bodies with the emperor himself and, wearing the emperor’s guise, attempts to change the country’s life. But not everyone is happy about that…
In the second book of the cycle, the hero will have to recover from a vile betrayal that left him miraculously alive. He is no longer Emperor Madjuro. The choice facing Luka is difficult: leave what was lost behind and start from scratch—or try to get back what he lost and take revenge on his offenders. Details are in the audiobook.
