Eighth book of the cycle. Surprisingly familiar and at the same time alien world. A world where there was no World War II, and where in 2020 high-tech armies of corporations argue for world domination with magic-wielding aristocrats. There he was thirty-five. There are no fifteen here, but the problems are one hundred percent - the hatred of unexpected relatives, the coat of arms crossed out by the bastard band, the contempt of others and the forbidden gift, the use of which threatens the death penalty. You also have to go to school.
