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

Rayda Linn is a Russian-language author working in fantasy. We present in audio format the second volume of the author’s second book from the cycle “Steel and Gold,” titled “Death and Sun.” By genre, this cycle is a coming-of-age novel written according to the conventions of heroic fantasy.

An unnamed teenager who has no name even—runs away from his foster family and calls himself Krix. Unexpectedly, this name pulls him into a whirl of events that involves the empire’s most powerful people. And through sheer luck, 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 common folk.

However, they don’t suspect the hero’s true origins. Meanwhile, evil forces have sensed the boy’s trace, and Krix is forced to confront them—where not only his destiny is decided, but also the fate of the entire empire.

These events are behind him. Now, fourteen-year-old Krix becomes the personal squire of the empire’s first knight, and his adult life begins. Especially since war is on the horizon. The teenager will have to make choices more than once—trying to interfere with what alone cannot be changed, or resigning himself and walking 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 second volume of this exciting story!
