Darkwood

“Dark Well” is the fourth book in the cycle “Algora’s Sewage,” which belongs to the legendary “World of Valdira.”

Mikhail, a newcomer in Valdira, started playing as a character nicknamed Shmygovik, who makes his living by theft. But the game didn’t go well. On the way to fame as an elusive breaker, the hero falls through—literally—into catacombs. He can’t get out. It would make sense to delete the character just created and start the game over. But Mikhail made a bet that he would reach the surface despite being stuck at the first level, with no gear and no map. Unexpectedly, the underground labyrinths turn out to be so interesting that Shmyga no longer even wants to leave. However, the friends he makes there seem to be playing on the dark side. Will this kind of friendship change the hero himself—and make him obey its will? The details are in the audiobook.
