Steel and Gold. Book 2: Death and the Sun. Volume 1

Raida Lynn is a Russian-speaking author working in the fantasy genre. We present in audio format the first volume of the author’s second book from the series “Steel and Gold,” titled “Death and Sun.”

By genre, this series is a coming-of-age novel written according to the conventions of heroic fantasy. An underage boy who doesn’t even have his own name runs away from his foster family and calls himself Kryks. This name unexpectedly pulls him into a whirlwind of events that involves the most powerful people in the empire. And thanks to a lucky accident, the hero becomes a student at the country’s most prestigious educational institution. Not everyone is happy about that—after all, the aristocrats’ offspring don’t like upstarts from the commoners.

However, they don’t know the hero’s true origin. Meanwhile, evil forces have sensed the boy’s trail, and Kryks is forced to confront them—where not only his fate is at stake, but also the fate of the entire empire. These events are in the past now. The fourteen-year-old boy becomes the personal squire of the empire’s first knight, and for him, adult life begins—especially since war is on the horizon.

The teenager will have to make choices more than once: try to intervene in what cannot be changed alone, or resign himself and walk past. At the same time, he will come into contact with secret knowledge that is closed to most people in this world. Listen to the first volume of this exciting story in audio format!
