Thirteen. Book 1

He was a writer for «The Battle of Psychics». He knew that magic was nothing more than good light work and convincing acting. But a sudden heart stop in a cozy chair sent him straight… into the body of a thirteen-year-old orphan in medieval Polissya.

Konstantin Ivanovich, who survived the Doomsday War and wrote scripts for dozens of seasons of a mystical show, suddenly finds himself where magic is not a production, but a real force. His new name is Kas’yan. His new past is a roadhouse burned to the ground, and parents killed by axes. And above all, two dozen bandits led by Fedka the Beast are still somewhere nearby.

The thirteen-year-old kid has neither a retinue, nor fencing experience, nor even the strength to draw a bow. But he has the memory of a tank officer, a cold calculation from a screenwriter, and a wild desire to live—and to take revenge.

«Thirteen» is not a transmigration story where someone wins wars on the spot. It’s a harsh, clinging tale—thick as Polissya mud after rain—about how one person changes the world around him, starting with a wolf pit and ending with a silver blade in the dark.
