About the book: 2008 / For the first time in Russian - the second part of the epic duology "The Knight-Sorcerer", the latest creation of one of the greatest science fiction writers of our time, Gene Wolfe. Wolfe not only reformulates the canons of heroic fantasy - he seems to recreate the genre from scratch. Having killed the dragon Grengarm and taking possession of the legendary sword Eterne, which he guarded, Sir Abel the Noble Heart ascends, picked up by the Valkyrie, to Skye. Having spent twenty years there in battles with the Giants of winter and ancient night and having learned the secrets of powerful magic, he returns to the world of people, Mitgarthr, where in the meantime just a couple of days have passed. Sir Abel has many unfinished tasks left: to help the diplomatic mission in the country of frost giants - Jotunland, to report to King Arntor about the elven grievances, to return his stolen memory and great love, and finally - to restore the very harmony of the layers of the seven-level universe.
